Hi,
I have posted a few times with questions in the past and y'all have been so helpful. I decided to ask your thoughts on Lamictal.
Pdoc just added it to my Abilify to help with depression. He said the only side effect I needed to seriously watch for was a rash and to discontinue immediately if I get a rash...
Are there any other things you ladies have experienced on Lamictal... weight gain/loss or sleepiness? Just curious.
TIA,
Catherine

i LOVE lamictal.
Thanks Beth,
Those are exactly the things I was curious about! I really appreciate your response.

I'm only up to 100mg of lamictal and I just got there this weekened, I've been on it for 6 or 8 weeks now and according my p/tdoc you need to be at 100mg for theraputic results on it. I've had no problems with it overall. The only time I had a problem was when my p/tdoc tried to up it too quickly and I ended up w/ a massive headache so I backed off for another week and then tried again and it was fine.
Goodluck to you! It's always nerve wracking to start a new med. but this one seems to be pretty good w/ minimal to no side effects.
Hugs & Prayers,
Danielle
