I've been on Lamictal for a month and I seem to be more irritated than usual. Anyone had negative or positive effects from Lamictal?

Thanks for any comments

It did work for me...but remember you don't hit the full dose for like two months (I think).

Myself, my son(17) and my daughter(15) all started on Lamictal fairly recently.

All three of us had different reactions.
About 3-4 weeks into taking Lamictal DS became extremely emotional. he began to cry "at the drop of a hat".
DD was so cranky and irritable it was't funny, also about 3-4 weeks into taking it. Myself, only thing I noticed is that I was totally "blah" I didn't want to do anything, had no energy, nothin.

All 3 of us did much better when the dosage went up (week 6).
