I've been taking Lamictal for 5 years now and am very pleased with it. I have experienced moderate to severe difficulties with cognitive function and memory on all other anti-epileptics. Lamictal has enabled me to reduce my carbamazapine intake to such a level that these difficulties are minimal and I am now doing very well at University. Unfortunately, while it has reduced my seizures to lower than ever before, it has not been able to stop them altogether.

I had side effects from other anticonvulsants including Tegretol and Depakote. I have had absolutely no side effects from Lamictal and it has controlled my seizures for several years now.

I have taken Lamictal for over 1yr. It helped the seizures and the headaches and also my anixiety. Problems I had were memory loss and weight gain, but all and all it was a good med.

I have been taking Lamictal for a month now. I do have headaches, cough, swollen lymph nodes, but with no fever. I have had no seizures, which is good.

I have had adverse reactions to five different medicines for seizures. I started taking Lamictal about 6 months ago and am very pleased. I have hardly any side effects at all. My only problem is that I dont have insurance because I am self employed, and Lamictal is very expensive. I am not sure if a generic is available for Lamictal. Lamictal has been a relief with minimal side effects.

I participated in a clinical trial of Lamictal many years ago with no side effects and have taken it ever since. My only problem is that it is still generic according to the FDA, although a couple of websites say that generic forms are available. I have had no side effects at all from Lamictal and take it with Topamax. I have liver tests once a year now. Other people I know take it with other seizure medications and they tolerate it well, too.
