Recently got prescribed it and I'm scared shitless to take it as I am hyper sensitive to meds and usually end up in the ER with severe reactions. I got prescribed it for mood swings not epilepsy. Just wondered if anyone has had any experience of it...
Just sayin, but if that is a common reaction for you, you probably shouldn't be getting prescribed anything without consulting an immunologist specialising in such reactions
srslywtf: very good point. It is pissing me off they keep brushing these things under the carpet. My docs: "Oh LigLog just ended up in hospital again due to a drug reaction, ah well." Since posting last I've taken Lamotrigine & I've had my asthma get worse, been short of breath, had a swollen face and woke up feeling like I was gonna go mad. Trace: did you have side effects at all???
If you're already having bad side effects, you should call your doctor (and if it's serious, go to the hospital, but I don't need to tell you, sounds like you have some experience with bad med reactions) I had heartburn for a couple weeks after I started taking lamictal (the name brand of lamotrigine) and then it went away. My girlfriend however got a rash all over her body and had to stop taking it it really depends on the person.
