CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you experience mental or mood changes. IF YOU DEVELOP A RASH, stop using the medicine and seek immediate medical attention. An allergic reaction to this medicine is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, hives, fever, swollen glands, swelling of the lips or tongue, painful sores in the mouth or around the eyes, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist
2	Pat Shepherd Says: Report Abuse Thursday, 5/1/2008 11:07:35 AM Dr. also put me on 150 effexor XR together with this Lamictal, I can't tell this is helping, but does anyone know of a good drug for energy and without bad side effects?

If they don't or you have something that is particularly bothersome, or inconvenient, then I suggest talking to your doctor. A drug for energy isn't usually the best bet, since it will just add more side effects that you will have to deal with.
4	Mary Says: Report Abuse Friday, 10/31/2008 5:16:23 AM I find lamictal to be VERY depressing. like thoughts of killing myself. I almost left my husband because I felt so worthless. I take about 2 naps a day. Can't work, Can't drive
5	Michele Shushan Says: Report Abuse Sunday, 11/16/2008 5:40:52 PM I find Lamictal to be very helpful! I have been on every other antidepressant/mood disorder drug and finally this is the one! I also have OCD and I find it to calm my obsessions and thoughts, I take it along with cymbolta this gives me lots of energy and balances off nicely with lamictal. Try it with a upper antidepresent due to side effect of drowsiness.
