Lamictal

Quote From: bipolaroso

I too was taking  Lamictal and it helped so much! I am glad to see someone else who takes this medicine is doing well with it! I quit taking it cause my Doctors office would not see me no more cause I missed to many appointments. I do miss feeling good. I have 3 small children & sometimes I feel like I am letting them down. Just make sure your hubby contuines to take the meds. It really truely is a way to make life easier!

I also take Lamictal and I have to say it has been the best thing for me.  I am also on Wellbutrin XL, Paxil CR, and Xanax(only at night).  All these meds together help all the different chemicals in our brains.  Wellbutrin for depression, Paxil for anxiety, and Xanax at night to help with my insomnia and anxiety about sleeping.   

  

Please who ever reads this I am not a doctor so please seek professional help.  I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor.

Hi  

  

I have been on Lamictal since November when I was Baker Acted, long story. It has helped me so much as I was coming off of Effexor. I need to change medicines every few years as they quit working. But this has been by far the most helpful I feel like a "normal" person. I have always taken anti-depressants, Ativan and now Cymbalta and Lamictal and Im doing so good. Im thankful for the change...I did write a letter to Dr. Phil regarding my dissatisfaction with the show. It was bent toward the worst cases and should have contained more stable patients as well...
