What were your experiences with Lamictal?

Posted by Laney on February 6, 2013, at 17:53:55

I hated it! I felt flat, numb and blah. I didn't feel happy or sad just didn't feel anything really. I was like ok this is what is feels like to have a chemical lobotomy. I couldn't have stayed on it for another day. Like I said I hated it.

I took the generic and got up to 100mg. per day. I was on it for about two months.

Got to 50mg and didn't have any changes or side effects with mood or feelings. But all of a sudden developed this Saliva that kept coming out of my mouth had to spit constantly. Horrible. So had to stop taking it. When googled it saw it was an uncommon side effect of lamictal. Phillipa

I take 200mg/day. No side effects at all. Made my mood more stable, less extreme depression, much less suicidal ideation.

That's been my experience.
