lamictal

Does anyone know what a lamictal rash looks like?

I am 46 years old and had my second seizure on Monday. My first seizure was a grand mal seizure on the floor of a Las Vegas casino 4 years ago. I was alone in my kitchen when I had my seizure on Monday but evidence suggests that it was also a grand mal seizure. The one common factor between...

I was at the age of 5 when I was diagnosed with seizures. It was always unclear as to exactly what was causing my seizures until about 6 years ago, which I found out was a Venous Angioma. Unfortunately it is in the left side of my brain and right behind my left eye. So it's inoperable or if I...

My Neurologist is going to take a shot at it: Titration slowly reduced on Zonegran Titration slowly increased on Lamictal While the Clonazepam and Folic Acid remains unchanged... He's going to see how it works from there. Hmmm .... this ought to be interesting! *laughing*

I have been taking Lamictal for only a couple of months I am still increasing my doses currently. I started taking 600 mg's today and I am noticing that I am getting angry at stupid things that don't really matter that much. Has anyone noticed similar side effects while taking this med?

Please put on your thinking caps.. My daughter has myolconics and only the one grand mal so far, she has JME like her brother, we think .. Welcome to the world of E.... Shes only on lamictal a few weeks and only at 175 mg a day. She said this week she is very over sensitive to noise. That if...

I'm still having complex partial seizures after my gran-mal last november (2007). I'm on tegretol as my base med, but have been on abotu 4 different meds to try and control the partials...which don't seem to want to be controlled. So I've been on lamictal for about 3 months, and we've switched...

OK, big time nervous here! :paperbag::huh::tdown::dontknow: Due to several issues, I am going to start to ramp down off Keppra and be started on Lamictal as of today. It will take 5 weeks to ramp up on Lamictal to 200 mg per day. I don't know if it will go higher after that. The Keppra has...

Hi, my name is Adriana, and I'm new to this site. Some background information first... I've been taking Lamictal since 20 December 2007. I started taking Topamax in Oct 2003, but I began having problems with breakthrough seizures following a bilateral native nephrectomy in April 2006. I am a...

Hi. I am from Canada (Saskatchewan). I found this site because I am just starting the process of switching from tegratol to lamictol. I have not had a seizure in a year and a half, but when I do they are tonic clonic.

Hi, the new doc that I saw today that my Reg doc wanted me to see (not my neurologist though), gave me a sample bottle of lamictal and wants me to start taking it today, along with the 15mg of diazepam I take. Its a low dose to start, just 25mg's. Anyone here taking this? I am so.... drug...

Hello! I'm new here in this forum, I have had seizures for 32 yrs. now. Since I have been 3 yrs. old, I just want to ask if anyone has a phobia of sleeping alone? You see, I don't have trouble falling asleep, it's just the fact that my eyes always opens between 3:00 to 4:00a.m. Why I don't know...

Hi all, Hopefully you all kind of know the travailing story of my husband who was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy last November, and prescribed 100mg. Dilantin 3 X a day. Up til then, he had 2 seizures. Well, he had another April 6th, while we were in Florida. They, (the family Dr...

Hi Everyone, I am 40 weeks pregnant and have been on 200mg Lamictal throughout my pregnancy. (This was for bipolar disorder rather than epilepsy, but there is so much more info and experience on this drug in the epilepsy community, I thought it would make more sense to post here.) I would...

Is anyone else taking lamotrigine to control their epilepsy? This may seem really stupid but I am looking for advice on how to take it! I can't stand th taste and its even worse taking it with food or a drink. Anyone else feel the same?

We just came back from a meeting at Nicole's school and it has been confirmed that her behavior has gotten better with the recent reduction of Lamictal. Since we have reduced her dosage, she has been meeting her goals at school. It will be interesting to see how she does with the next...

I received this in an email and thought I should share with you all since I've seen threads recently touching on the subject of Trileptal and its effects on you: ...and I thought it was just me feeling 'off'........whew!

Since my granddaughter, Nicole, has started her full dosage of Lamictal, we have noticed that her behavior has gotten horrible. She is becoming uncontrollable at school. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem. We talked to our doctor and he said that this is not a side...
