Anyone have experience with Lamictal (lamotrigine)? The pdoc put me on it today for pretty extreme mood swings I’ve been having lately. He told me to stop taking it if I develop a rash. Did it work? Has anyone had any side effects from it?
I was on it briefly about 6 years ago. It didn’t help me. But i had no side effects that i remember.

I’m on the lowest dose there is for depression.
It’s really helping me.
Lamictal is not that great against mania unless at higher doses

I didn’t get a rash or anything. But I was chewing my lip with my mouth so I had to come off it

I’m on 200mg for depression. I have no side effects but don’t really think it’s helping.

Yeah, I just started on 25 and in 2 weeks I go to 50. I hope it reduces the depression and evens out my mood.

I’m doing the same thing with the increase. My pdoc says it’s not therapeutic until 100mg but I’m noticing a difference already at 50. I like how I feel now.
The doc says most people tolerate it well. I think it’s a good one for me.

I’m on 100 mg no side effects
It might be helping but not sure I am but better but might not be because of the Limatrigine as I’ve been fine without it in the past
