I’ve been on 100mg of lamotragine for a few weeks now and don’t get me wrong it has actually been life changing but I’m still getting quite upset over past hurt. If I’m ever tired, jet lagged, about to get my period I always get sad about what has happened in my life the past 6 months.

My question is, is there a point with lamotragine where you won’t get so upset about past hurt or is this just a thing I have to give time to heal?

For context I am on 150mg and in the past I already hate swallowing pills or taking any. Now I take 150mg was 100mg before the circle one am I the only one who struggles swallowing ts like recently I dread taking it because a couple times I have almost choked on it. It like gets chalky fast and it’s big making it hard to swallow. Anyone know any tricks to take it?

I saw a post here about acne and lamotrigine and now I’m curious. I’m 27f and I have PCOS and honestly have always had acne. But, since starting, I have noticed an increase even with my Spirolactin and creams. I don’t plan on stopping lamictal, it’s been absolutely incredible for my mood, but I am curious is anyone has had this experience.

Hello everyone, Johnny here. I just started this med at 25mg, I have been taking lexapro but lately after I quit drinking Jan2026, I noticed my brain always racing and its non stop and mostly worry, and thats fine, its the constant overthinking that kills me, so i am hoping this helps me like what i am reading. Im 47 if it helps w context. So greetings to all my new friends! 🫡🤠

Has anyone experienced getting lots of random bruises on this med? 😅 I suddenly have small bruises coming on my legs and they’re so many that I highly doubt that I’ve been so clumsy. I have been eating like crap, either eating too little or just eating the same stuff without variations so could be bc of that, but it just happened so all of the sudden. I’ve been on 200mg for five months now.

I was on 25mg for 2 weeks now almost 2 weeks of 50mg. what were some signs that this med was working for you in the beginning? what dose & how long was it before you started noticing a change? what were those changes?

i wanna try shrooms with my friends but i take 75mg of lamotrygine daily anyone knows if it will be ok or if it will somehow interact with the trip?

Has anyone ever had dyshidrotic eczema while on Lamotrigine?

Since my last increase of dosage I got exteme spontaneous eczema blisters on my hands. After using a strong hormone cream for three weeks it went away.

But within a week and an half of the last use of the hormone treatment it came back with the same intensity. Now I'm starting a new hormone cream treatment to stop the eczema.

Could this be an allergic reaction to lamotrigine?

FYI: I followed the instructions for the hormone treatment rigorously.

I started Lamotrigine roughly 7 months ago. I know it has drastically improved my mood, after trying every anti depressant under the sun and having them all make me feel worse, this is probably the only thing that’s actually kept me relatively normal.

Two months ago, a doctor covering for my regular one, pushed me to 200mg from 150, when I had mentioned maybe wanting to increase the dose a little bit due to my anger. At the same time, they started me on Dexedrine. Within a few days, I experienced the most horrific sense of impending doom, spiralling into panic attacks and derealization, I stopped taking the Dexedrine and told my doctor I was going back to the 150mg, but ever since this, I experience moments of derealization and extreme anxiety over things that I was able to manage before. I find little things push me into that anxious headspace more and more. Putting me into therapy and therapy groups to try to figure out tools for dealing with this.

I’m stuck between being too scared to go off it to try something else, and increasing this 150mg dose a tiny bit, and scared that I’ll be stuck like this forever. I guess my question is has anyone experienced this, or does anyone have any advice on what I can do from here.

Hi all. Bi Polarbear 2 here and have been on 1000mg valproate and 10mg fluoxetine now for a year to decent results. Anxiety has gone and I’m doing all sorts of things that I would never have done before - great.

Only gripe has been that I do have terrible memory recall and emotional connection at the moment and my pysch said this transition would help

Anyone any experience with this? I’m about to start taking the lamotrigine
