Lamictal Side Effects
I experience a number of the common side effects that I read about for Lamictal and I do not see any value in staying on this drug. For the people that speak highly of Lamictal, they often site that it helps them greatly with their mood swings. What exactly are these mood swings and how often do they occur?
I recently was diagnosed with BP II and I truly wonder about the accuracy of my diagnosis and subsequent script for Lamictal. I generally experience one or two depressions each year and I have had two manic episodes over the last 4 years. When I read people's comments about mood swings, I get the impression that there is a greater frequency than what I experience. Maybe not?
I would not stay on Lamictal if I were you, or for that matter any psychiatric medication. It is NOT worth it, and it WILL make things worse. Psychiatric drugs make mood swings, depression, mania, panic attacks, anxiety, suicide wishes, etc, all worse, ESPECIALLY if one day you would decide you want to go off the medication, then you will go through hell getting it out of your system. Honestly, it is not worth it to stay on it. If you decide to withdraw from it, and you have manic episodes, you will think you need to stay on it, but the truth is it is your body going through withdrawal and if you keep withdrawing and stick it out, things WILL get better.
i am curently on 100mg of lamictal for antidepressent along w/prozac - i feel that the lamictal is not for me, i also feel like memory loss at times, vision blurry, and my blood pressure is high for the first time in my life! i want to get off this, how do i tell the dr?
