Did anyone took Lamictal for anxiety and depression? Did it work,and how soon did it started working? Did anyone started feeling normal and had their old life back? Did anyone felt the itching, and how long it lasted? I am very worried, i need this med to be working for me soon because i going through very tough time in my relationship. If anyone know anything about it, pleaselet me know. It willbe veryhelpful.
Ive been on lamictal for around 5 months. added to depakote and has changed my life (diagnosis bipolar). i can actually get off the couch.
I have been trying to lose weigth for a while with no avail. Started lamictal: nausea and some light cramping. although hungry, sometimes I can't eat. Am down from 118# to 112# and continue to fall without effort. even eating chocolate.
just wondering if I should be concerned something else is going on.
That's how I started to feel after about 20 or 22 weeks im 28 weeks and 5 day's now and my appetite has subsided now but I've gained about 15 pounds lol
Soo I've had pretty normal appetite but now since last week its increased im a ftm and wasn't sure if that's normal or if it's jus me. Im 33weeks and 1day btw.
I am on Trileptal, Lamictal, and Luvox. The only reason why I am really confused is because we haven't made any medication changes for quite a while now. I was very stable for a while, and still am emotionally, but these nightmares and sweats are getting a bit concerning. I just don't like not knowing what is going on with my body. Can your medication start giving you side effects even after being on them for a long time.
t handle that side effect. However, at the last appt, she increased my Lamictal and said we might have to consider additional meds or changes if it didn't work. It's worse. Much worse.
Is there anyone here who has avoided the mood stabilizer weight gain? I am about to start PT, then I can run/start training for my tris again in a month or so. I remember being really tired when I took it before... but not much about appetite changes.
Occasionally he gets very stiff and paralyzed for a couple minutes at which point he does not lose consciousness. His Lamictal dose is getting increased but the major problems that we have are the following:
He is some pretty significant speech problems. Is that related to the epilepsy and will that ever get better?
He is a very sweet boy but sometimes he breaks down and cries for no reason. Is there a link there?
Is there a chance that he will ever grow out of this?
I have Bipolar 2 and PMDD. I switched from Geodon to Lamictal in December 2010. Since that point, my depression has greatly improved and I feel like my old self. But, ever since I began Lamictal, the Lexapro that controlled the PMDD issue for years, stopped working. I'm now having severe PMDD issues every month. My doctor switched me from Lexapro to Viibryd a week ago. I am experiencing increased appetite, gastrointestinal distress, and can't sleep.
s what you were speaking about. I was prescribed Neurontin at the same time as Lamictal and I believe I was told by my psychopharmocologist that one enhances the effect of the other. Obviously that would be something to speak to your psychiatrist about but they would be the ones to prescribe it regardless.
