Hello Lee,

Thank you!!!

My friend is right, I was on Lamotrigine for Bipolar disorder and it is a very good medication. For me it took also a couple of weeks before it started working, of course it can vary from person to person as we all react differently to medications, so be patient.
Do not increase the prescribe dosage by your DR. on your own, this must be done gradually by your DR., but once it starts working you will begin the benefits of this medication.

The use of lamotrigine for anxiety disorders is fairly new but in clinical studies and case histories it's been helpful for quite a few people.
It worked for me!
"Although an unproven intervention, there are many potential benefits that might be attained from utilizing lamotrigine as an off-label treatment for anxiety. The most obvious potential benefit is that lamotrigine may turn out to be the single most useful anxiolytic medication that a person with an anxiety disorder has ever tried. Other potential benefits associated with utilizing lamotrigine for anxiety may include its: ability to treat comorbidities, low cost, neuroprotective properties, and novel mechanism of action. Moreover, nearly all preliminary data support the idea that lamotrigine can be helpful for a subset of patients with anxiety."
