User Reviews for Lamotrigine

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I'm bipolar with severe depression & anxiety attacks. I've been on Lamictal for 2 yrs. Since then my anxiety attacks have almost stopped. I do not have the rages of anger like I used to. Lamictal has hugely made my life better.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): have been taking lamictal for two months and this drug has had NO side effects whatsoever. has erased all thoughts of constant fear of death and scariness from my life every day that were consuming me for no reason. am NOT depressed but had consuming fear. i feel reborn and have tried anti depressants before that have not worked..many of them. this is definitely a mood stabilizer at it's best.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have bipolar disorder and have been using Lamictal for 3 months. No more thoughts of suicide, no anger and I am happy again. I am back to being me again.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I was consumed with depression, anxiety, fear, rage, and compulsive behavior since I entered puberty. I was sent to psychologists who could not help me because my issues were entirely chemical. After years of failed treatment, I self-medicated with alcohol which landed me in jail. I finally went to a psychiatrist who put me on Lamictal. I am a healthy, peaceful, and productive person for the first time in my life. I know I would not be here if it were not for this medication. Other than severe dehydration, after 3 years I have experienced no adverse effects.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have been on medication for 9 years now. I have tried over 30 medications for my bipolar, axiety, PTSD and have found Lamictal as the only medication that helped me. I am very medication sensitive so I did get the rash with Lamictal and still took it for 4 years until the rash ended up being to much. I have now tried 6 more medications and have not found any that help without huge side effects. I would say it was a miracle medication for me and I truly miss it.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I can't praise this drug highly enough. At the age of 59, I'm finally leading a level life - without quiting jobs in a rage, moving my family 1,400 miles to a house I'd never seen. Due to troubles with sleeping, I also take Seroquel.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): After reading this forum, I cried. For more than fifteen years, mania and depression were tearing me apart. Lamictal seems to have changed this. I notice a major difference. Those around me notice as well. People are no longer afraid of me. I have had no side effects. This drug has saved my life.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have had Bipolar Disorder for over 15 years and have had seven hospital admissions. I was put on Lamictal about 4 years ago when I had a transplant as my previous meds interacted with my anti- rejection drug. Lamictal is the best medication for Bipolar Disorder I have ever been on. Since I've been taking it my mood has been very stable and I feel like I have all my normal emotions back. I've also kept out of hospital even with all the stress of my physical problems and no side effects.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have been taking Lamictal for only 1 month and I notice a huge difference. I am finding joy in the things that I couldn't for years. My patience is so much better and the outbursts of anger have stopped already. I only hope that I don't start experiencing the side effects that I have heard about.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have to honestly say that my prescribed drug works for me. I do not experienece the excessive anger, compulsive highs and excessive OCD. I was never a really depressive person but was not able to think clearly thus making poor decisions. I tried several anti-depressants for many years which caused all kinds of medical imbalances. I came across lamictal when I went "cold turkey" off lexapro and almost commited suicide. That was the darkest moment of my life. Now, I am happier and balanced. I never knew life could be this good. I also eat right, limit cocktails, exercise and get good rest to aid in my balanced lifestyle.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I was worried that Lamictal would make me boring or unable to be creative, but the opposite is true. I have much more control of my thoughts and behavior, but not too much control. My memory has gotten a lot better too, even though that's not listed as a side effect.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I take this medication for bipolar. it is the only thing that has worked for me. i am so very thankful i came across this because it makes me normal and i can live my life with my husband like a normal person...

Lamictal (lamotrigine): It keeps me very stable. My only gripes are that there's a really bitter taste if it gets stuck to your tongue, the shape is ridiculous to swallow (It's like a pentagon lol) and my psychiatrist didn't know that there is more and more info coming out that suggests that it interacts with the birth control pill. My little one is 2 weeks old and she definitely wasn't planned. I took the pill perfectly too. Just a heads up :)

Lamictal (lamotrigine): This medicine along with wellbutrin has stabilized me and helped me become happy again. I've also quit taking anything for "ADD." Compared to what I've experienced while bipolar, most difficulties I have, now seem trivial. Just keep trying every day and when you feel like giving up tell yourself you haven't even started to fight. Keep a sense of humor about things too.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): This medicine is a life saver. This one keeps me away from depression and works really well with other medicines. I'm now only taking Zoloft with it and I have never felt so good in my 8 years of being medicated! These two drugs are easy on the body and have very few side effects like the anti-psychotics. Please talk to your doctor about it, you will not regret it!

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Prior to taking Lamictal I was constantly battling bouts of extreme depression and insane manic episodes. I thought I would never have any hope of leading a productive successful life. I have been taking it for 8 months now and it gave me life. Amazing. I highly recommend this medicine to anyone struggling with bipolar disorder. I've experienced no side effects. You must be patient through it's inductive stage so stick with it for at least a month.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): This worked wonders for me. Seasonal adjustment may be needed as it is with me.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Started on this 6 months ago. My own personal miracle drug. I had never known peace or stability before Lamictal. I hope to stay on it forever, and also hope it continues working this well.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I began taking Lamictal for lower body spasticity due to an injury to my CNS. My neurologist decided to try Lamictal in order to prevent these seizure-like episodes from occurring daily, and it worked; however, it made an even bigger impact on my mental and emotional state. At 19, I've dealt with depression, severe anxiety, and irritability for approximately 5 years now, and the stability I gained from taking this medication (for convulsions!) has absolutely changed my life.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Lamictal is a great drug for me, except for the side effects. I now have had to be put on sleep medicines or I stay awake all night. I have also lost quite a lot of hair over the years of taking it. At one point (400mg) per day. Now at 200mg a day, it has not been as bad, but still significant. My memory has gotten almost to the point of giving up the medicine because it's so bad. I also have trouble thinking of words that I want to say and have never had that problem until taking Lamictal. It does have less or (better) side effects than some of the others, or I would have tried something else by now.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Lamictal is one of the best drugs I've ever been on. It has been amazing. Being on it has made me feel so much more level. Before taking it I never really knew how I was going to feel or how much things would affect me. I am currently on Lamictal in addition to many other medications, but adding Lamictal made me so much more sure of my emotions. I felt so much safer. It has really been wonderful.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Simply put Lamictal saved my life and NO side effects either.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): Im up to 200mg per day, and honestly, I really dont know how much its helping me. I seem to be a lot better, but I think the Clonopin does a lot more for me.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have Bipolar 1 with psychotic features and have taken Lamictal for years. It is a great medication to control the symptoms of my mental illness. I had no unsavory side effects and my mood has remained pretty level. My doctor does adjust the amount that I take throughout the year, as needed.

Lamictal (lamotrigine): I have been on Lamictal for 7 months now. I noticed a drastic difference when the medication hit full potency. It was like night and day. I am still scared to death I might have a low. I don't think I could make it through another.
