Does anyone have info about lamictal
Wed, 05/25/2005 - 10:461200 mg NEURONTIN 3x daily and 600 mg TRILEPTAL 1x daily & 900 mg 1x daily. He had no seizures for 7 months. Thats a really long record for him. We thought we found the right mix our meds. Then he started having liver problems, so now they are weaning him off only the TRILEPTAL and starting him on the LAMICTAL. I wondered if anyone one else had this problem? Anyone having success on LAMICTAL? Thanks for any help!

I thought i read that many of these meds can cause depression and lamictal was included. That hasn't happened with Shawn. I'm suprised that the Zoloft doesn't help. I take 20mg of lexapro each day and it is wonderful. I helps keep me from that inking feeling. Maybe you need a different one and the Zoloft isn't the right one. i don't know. I would talk to your doctor. There is no need to suffer with that if they can help you.

I took lamictal and it gave me insomnia for seven months. I was having too many seizures then, and I got off.
