http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078 I started taking Lamictal about six weeks ago for epilepsy. Now keep in mind, I was on Dilantin which worked great for 17 years and then suddenly stopped working. I have been in medication hell since then. First Topamax made me dumb as a rock.

The dreams were pretty terrifying but every now and then I'll actually have one of those good dreams where you wake up and http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=5679 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 02:38:13 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=6771 Finally, someone else who experienced hair loss! My vacuum keeps locking up from trying to pick up all the hair in my carpet! I was on Lamictal for 4+ years and never had problems with dreams except for the time when I was on Risperdal as well.

His neurologist is weening him off Topomax - which worked well for seizures, with twice in a year having a kidney stone. I have noticed mood http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=7412 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:57:39 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=8806 I am a 33 year old woman, first time on Lamictal. I've only been on the drug for a little over a week, an incredibly low dosage (25mg). I am taking it for my mood swings (no diagnose has been made yet from my Doctor). Like most people, I have fear of http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=8806 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:10:41 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=8817 The dreams have not been as terrible lately (maybe my body has adjusted to the Lamictal). In fact, they are more amusing than anything else. (Like I was hanging out with teh cast from Melrose Place watching flying saucers from a high rise balcony).

I was on Tegretol for over 20 years and it worked just fine. My husband and I were discussing having children so my neurologist pushed me to switch to Lamictal. She also said prolonged use of Tegretol can decrease bone density. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=9157 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:48:49 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=9246 It is the lamictal. A side effect of lamictal is insomnia. Try taking melatonin with a benzo (I take xanax). It helps http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=9246 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:26:07 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28078?item=10387 Thank you for your email. I actually went to a new neurologist and they confirmed it is the lamictal and they put me on a lorazepam/lunesta concoction and it's doing the trick! However, I am having hair loss, too.

Topamax is the drug from hell. I went from a 3.8 gpa to a 2.5. Although it did take off the weight Felbatol/Felamate added. Now I am on Lamictal 150mg twice daily and Clonazepam 1mg twice daily.
