Lamictal question

My son started on Lamictal a few weeks ago. He has just finished the 2 weeks of 25mg and is now on the 50mg doses for 2 weeks.

He says that his emotions have been running wild since starting Lamictal. He says he's going from happy to angry to crying to depressed. Back and forth like he's in a revolving door! He says his moods are swinging way more now than before he started the Lamictal.

Did this happen to anyone else? Does this seem normal until the meds are in his system long enough to make him stable?

I felt pretty darn good from day one when I started it.
