Lamictal And Smoking Majiuana
I wanted to see if anyone can tell me the known side effects with smoking majiuana and taking lamictal, if any. I have been trying to get info on this for about 2 months and can not seem to get anything back on it. Of course my doctor and counselor says tht it is not good to do ANY drugs...but I have to be honest, I smoke and dont plan on stopping...so I would like to know what to expect when these two are combined. Thank you and I would love to hear a responce about this. By the way, I do not smoke alone so I need to know what to expect so I can educate my husband. Thank you again, Leilani

Limictal
I have been taking Lamictal since Jan.2007 for grand-mal seizures...it is the best medicine in treatment. My last seizure was Dec.24,2006 (I won't 4get that one.) I busted my head open-9 stiches(1st.time) I have not had any trouble w-it, sometimes I get a headache, & I get nauseated, just in the a.m. I usually eat about an hr. after I get up, & it doesn't bother me at all. I used to have mini seizures, the last one I has Christmas eve 2006 was the worst one ever. I used to take Dilantin(generic one) & close to the end of 2006 I had one in Oct & the one On the 24th. My Neurologist weened me off of Dilantin w- a children's dose-chewable, tasted bad,anyway he started me on a five week starter pack at 25mg & slowly worked my way up to 100mg,which is what I take one in the morning & one in the evening, At night sometimes I get sleepy about 20mins later unless I am doing something like now. I was diagnosed w- Epilesywhen I was about12-13 yrs of age, I 'm 32 now. It does run in families....Now that I have been on Lamictal, everthing has stopped.... I hope everyone who is able to take the medicine is as successful as I am.

Lamictal
My boyfriend is bi-polar. He started on Lamictal 25mg a day and has gone gradually up to Lamictal 250 mg a day. Most of the time I think that it has worked quite well, but as the dose has increased I have found his moods have become increasingly eratic again. Is it possible the dosage is too high? Also can you drink on Lamictal? Maybe the combination of alcohol and Lamictal together could also be affecting his moods. Thanks
