Hi there ladies & gents. I have just joined this group and it seems really nice and welcoming
I was going to ask something, has anyone had any sort of memory trouble when taking the lamotrigine medication? I was on 100mg 3 times a day and my memory really did seem faint. I was getting really worried about this but the doctors didn't really do anything about it. I have had the lamotrigine decreased as I am taking a higher dose of keppra now but really would like someone to write back if they… read more
Your welcome . Happy to hear that it help. I wasn’t even sure if I was clear at explaining.
I took Dilantin for a few years as a child. I'm not sure why my doctor switched me from Dilantin to Tegretol, but I'm assuming it's because I broke through on it. I really liked it, but I suppose what I'm on now is best for controlling my seizures.
Mine is 300mg bid
Only 2 grand mals since 2015 and monthly absence seizures
That doesn't matter what another person dosage is. I say that because the number of milligrams you take, of a medication, goes by your medical history, weight, age, and height to tell how many… read more
I'm on trileptal & lamical. Was wondering if anyone has problems with memory? I'm thinking of asking my neurologist if can start decrease my trileptal (bad memory problems) & increase my lamical. Anyone solely on lamical & had good results.
I also have problems remembering. My sister says I'm getting older. Is it from the medication?
I was wondering if anyone on here take Lamictal (Lamotrigine), and has found an effective method of birth control, other than an IUD. I used to take pills, but now they are saying they decrease the effectiveness of the Lamictal, and they keep pushing for an IUD, and I will not get that. Lol
I did the depo shot it was called.
Hello, i was asking myself if there were other people who use lamictal and have gained weight. I started in december and have been gaining weight ever since. It is just strange that i am becoming a fatty because of meds, So has anybody got some solutions to counter the weight gain?
I have been taking Klonopin two times one during the day and one at night for the last month. I take Lamotrigine 300 in the morning and 60mg of cymbalta for years for depression. I have a birthmark surrounding my left eyelid and left front forhead. Lately my left eyelid swells up everyday. I have Sturge Weber Syndrome also which causes seisures also.Thank you
Have any of you experienced shortness of breath with Lamictal withdrawal? Unfortunately I had to stop Lamictal immediately due to purple rash on my back, sores on my throat and I had fever blisters on my lips.
It's day 2. No seizures having a hard time breathing. I do have asthma but trying to avoid using the inhalers. Upping my CBD usually helps this choking, shortness of breath feeling I have if it's seizure related its not. I used my inhalers yesterday they didn't work
I lowered my dose of Lamictal when I went on extended release. I have been feeling like I can't catch my breath, especially if I go on a walk or just something that uses any energy.
I think it's a side effect. I'm on lamictal and depakote.
It’s definitely a side effect of being on Depokote and lamictol I am on those too and Zonegran
