I have been on 100mg lamotrigine for 8 days and I am experiencing bouts of uncontrollable crying, it's just horrendous and absolutely wears me out. Is it normal when you go up doses and does it wear off? I can't bare it.
Does lamotrigine cause awful crying spells?

Answers
Emotional lability is considered a common side effect which affects 1% to 10% of patients being treated with lamotrigine.
Common side effects usually in most people tend to subside within a week to 10 days, if it does not, do contact your Dr. and inform him/ her what you are experiencing.
Hope you get well soon, masso
