I have been on lamictal 100mg to 150mg, and I haven't noticed any facial hair growth, although I think my hair is thinning out. When I take a shower and put cream rinse in and work it thru, I have lots of hair coming out.
It should work once it reaches an appropriate dose. Occassionally at higher dosages Lamictal can sometimes worsen mania but it takes time and a psychiatrist has to see how they are responding in general. Keep a mood tracker here and print out the results for your psychiatrist and ask them to follow up.
I was diagnosed Bipolar II with minor depression and was put on Lamictal teetering up 25 mg every 2 weeks with 150mg Wellbutrin (Zyban) the aim was to reach 200mg and see how I feel, by the start of the seventh week, I got tiny itchy patches on my cheeks that flaired up after I took the Lamictal… so stopped lamictal, (remained on the wellbutrin) and went on an antihistamine (Atarax) for a 2 weeks 25/50mg, did some surface (72 hour skin contact) allergy tests and came negative for Lamictal so I w
Mirena uses the pregnancy hormone progesterone. I had the Mirena for 14 months and would have certain weeks on occasion when I'd get pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, fatigue, increased/decreased appetite, sore breasts, and cramps.
It's very unusual to get pregnant with the Mirena--not impossible, but not at all common.
I was taking Bupropion and Lamictal, and switched to Effexor. I have been on Effxor for three weeks. I have had the worst fatigue I have ever felt. So now I am unsure if it was coming off the Lamictal or if it was the Effexor. I am going to stop the Effexor, but I don't know if I should go back on just the Lamictal, The lamictal When I first started taking it, up to 200 mg worked fairly well.
I guess my question is, is , has this kind of fatigue been know to be a side effect with Effexor?
I have seen a ENT doc and my hearing is perfect, nothing else is wrong, only the Lamictal that I am on. My doc one day said oh the ringing could be because of the lamictal which made me start obsessing over it, did not help, and now I have started weening myself off the lamictal but it is not an easy road. I was on 100mg then went down to 50mg for a week now I am down to 25 mg and valuim to take edge off, I hate the way I am feeling and the panic attacks or anxiety are hard.
I am not convinced that your symptoms are caused by Mirena. Panic and anxiety have deep rooted triggers. There may be certain psychological issues which you probably have. You may still go ahead and get the implant removed. But first, get a urine pregnancy test done, since you have missed your periods.
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.
I am seventeen and just had the mirena put in on March 4th. I have been spotting non-stop (which is brown and thick). But I, finally, just had sex with my boyfriend on Friday and afterwards I started bleeding, not like the brown thick stuff, but like i was on my period. I don't know if this is normal, and all day today, I have been having terrible cramps. My abdomen is sore and crampy and I'm very concerned about this.
Your last question is a very valid one. I am now wondering if my eggs were still dropping because I am now 7 weeks without the mirena and I am not ovulating nor have I had a period. They say the mirena doesn't affect ovulation, but if it doesn't then how come you don't get a period. There is so much conflicting information on this thing its making me angry. I wish I had looked into it more before letting my dr talk me into it.
The thing is I am having this pregnancy scare for a month and some weeks now. Of course I dont have a cycle because of the mirena. Within the past month I have some weight gain around the mid section area, soreness tenderness of the breasts, shortness of breath, now nauesa, flutter feelings in my abdomen, pressure of the abdomen especially underneath. My boyfriend thinks I am because I have been very moody and dealing with a lot of fatigue.
Depends on your body and how it reacts to the hormones.I have a Paragard and I absolutely love it....the reason for me not choosing the Mirena is because I wasn't sure how the hormones would react with my body and current situation. Take a chance and see if u want to,if it doesn't work out then switch back! Only u kno your reasons for wanting to switch....but if it isn't really serious I'd tell u to stick to your Paragard!
I wish your daughter well, I too am on Keppra 375mg twice daily and have started lamictal 50mg per day. I am also very irritable and tired. My doc wants to wean me off Keppra and slowly increase my lamictal. Luckily I have not had a reaction this far with it but its only been two weeks. He wants to switch due to the irritability from Keppra. I was taking Wellbutrin for depression but am not any longer, did feel I need it haha.
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.
