Common Questions and Answers about Lamotrigine overdose serious

Avatar n tn Yes, you can take lamotrigine if you have hepatitis C. If you have serious liver damage, the dose may have to be reduced. Because this is a new drug for you, watch for the rash/swelling in the first few weeks. This drug can cause severe skin rashes. You need to let your doctor know if the rash or swelling occur.
Avatar f tn Havent been in the sun. Ive been taking lamotrigine for about 2 weeks and I know its associated with some serious rashes. Went to GP when the rash wasnt this bad and she said its probably something viral and possibly the medication, talk to the person who prescribed the lamotrgine. Finally got a hold of prescribing nurse practioner who, over the phone, said to stop taking it and just take benedryl, it will be gone by this weekend. Benedryl is putting me to sleep but not doing anything.

Avatar f tn Only a few interactions between lamotrigine and other drugs have been identified. Lamotrigine increases the plasma level of carbamazepine and its metabolites. Carbamazepine lowers the concentration of lamotrigine in the blood. Valproate doubles the plasma level of lamotrigine, and the level of valproate is decreased by about 25% in people taking lamotrigine. Phenobarbital and primidone lower the plasma level of lamotrigine by about 40%.

Avatar f tn I hope you come back on and let us know your ok. This can be serious and hope you went to the ER to be safe. I have read about many deaths from someone swalling large amounts, but usually it was a drug dealer that swallowed a few grams so they won't get busted. Hope your safe.
Avatar f tn I think they're confused. If you read the full prescribing information, it's the PILL that screws with the lamotrigine, not the other way around. It's not like a lot of other anticonvulsants. From http://epilepsy.med.nyu.edu/treatment/medications/lamotrigine "Lamotrigine has no effect on other seizure medicines. And unlike some other seizure medicines, it does not reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
925572 tn?1246540031 DOCTOROFMIND a psychiatrist on youtube said recently in a video there are a couple of safe psych meds for pregnancy, it wasn't one of them however and he only listed prozac and haldol although NAMI's website says prozac possibly causes serious birth problems and as for haldol it says you should tell your doctor if you're pregnant but says nothing about special precautions with pregnancy. Hell he doesn't even like prescribing meds unless he absolutely has to.
Avatar n tn Hi I was wondering if anyone has ever has an adverse reaction to Lamotrigine i.e. breaking out in rash, very itchy, red patches all over skin? I'm afraid to try other drugs due to this? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Avatar n tn I was being overmedicated by my psychiatrist. I went from taking nothing to taking Klonipin 1mg 3-4x/day, Inderal 10mg 3x/day, and Lamictal. I got up to 150mg of the Lamictal after 7weeks. I had a dangerous and deadly reaction to the Lamictal. I was told to stop it suddenly. My life has been a disaster ever since. I feel I was better before I took all of this stuff. I have been suicidal due to the sudden stop of the meds. Last Saturday i tried to kill myself.
1310468 tn?1274863925 Lamotrigine and some other anti-convulsant medications are approved for maintenance treatment in bipolar I disorder, because they have something to do with altering the excitability threshold of certain neurons. We're not yet entirely sure how that helps to control mood instability in bipolar disorder, but they are proven to be very effective in this regard. The good thing about lamotrigine in particular is that it can also have an anti-depressant on top of the mood stabilization!
Avatar n tn how much coke estamated for an overdose, ive been doin it for a while too i dont know if i have a brain hemorage or anything too my eyes and head hurts and sometimes its like my limbs go a little numb or feel like they fell asleep, my heart sometimes beats weird to. so what goin on? iam a little scared.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking Wellbutrin XL 300mg, Lamotrigine 25 mg, Zyrtec, Levothyroxine 75mg, and Atenolol 50mg. I started Lamotrigine (lamictal generic) 2 weeks ago. On day 9, I developed severe diarrhea and cramps. It was slowed down with 1 pill of Immodium, but after 2 days I decided to eat a "regular" meal and got diarrhea again. So it's been on an off for 6 days, and this morning it was worse than it was the first day!

Avatar f tn Probably not, but see a doctor ASAP just to rule out any serious condition. Most likely you've got some anxiety which drives up the heart rate afterwards (caffeine should be out of the body long time ago), but we can't say for sure. Go to the ER and get this examined.
Avatar f tn i was just wanting to know if lamotrigine and quetiapine can cause sore throats I've been taking these meds for 4 days and I started getting sick after day 2
Avatar n tn which was the dose? did you "overdose" on purpose or was it because you were sick from anything? what do you feel exactly?
