Hi aimee --
A search on the net turned up others on Lamictal with the same complaint, so it seems a likely culprit. It may take a while for the side effect to fade. How long have you been off the Lamictal?

roughly 2months i just i duno its ok i mean it isnt as bad as it was but i got put on anotheer drug to called risperidone and i had uranary retention with that and from that i have to catheterize myself daily about 6times still havent recverd from that so yeah i dont know its all a mess
Hmmm,
I've been on the brand name of lamotrogine (Lamictal) for years now, and not had that issue. Like Nakamova, I have heard of it happening, but not very often. If the leaking continues, I would ask the doctors to check your hormone levels to make sure they are not out of whack due to the lamotrogine. You may need to go on some hormone therapy for a while in order to stop the leaking.
Good luck. That other med doesn't sound too fun, either.
