We hated lamictal it made my son puke every three days. Had to convince his old neuro that no one gets a virus every three days for a month! Good luck hope it gets better

I been taking Lamictol 15 yrs now with no side affects or anything just sz free and living a normal life the way it should be, out on the boat or riding my Harley, and will always remain taking Brand name Lamictol and brand Tegretol, hope best for you

Lamictal is the first of five medications that worked with mild side effects.
After taking my evening or mourning dose I will fall asleep. With out coffee I could not stay awake for a few hours.
However if this is the only side affect I am happy to take it.
Been seizure free now for at least 3 years now

The thing about that is that every person's immune system is not the same, so it will work for some people and not for others. That's how all medications are for different people.

I've been using lamictal for more than 10 years. Sometimes when i can't sleep I try hypnotic therapy.
