Lamotrigine 25mg

I have bipolar disorder and have been on almost everything for it, was taking depakote and Saphris which worked great but I gained a ton of weight so doc switched me to lamotrigine because it’s weight neutral. Starting off at 25mg/day and working up to 300mg/day. Gradually by the time I got up to 100 in the morning and 150 at nite I had a RELENTLESS bronchial cough that wouldn’t respond to any kind of treatment, that became so violent that I would start vomiting until everything was completely gone from my stomach. I don’t actually feel sick at all I just have this obnoxious never ending cough that ends in throwing up. Also had lost my voice. Now I have gone all the way back down the dosing schedule and am just getting ready to go completely off of it. Tomorrow will be...

I take Lamotrigine one does of 25mg daily for the treatment/prevention of Temporal Lobe Nocturnal Seizures. Please can you tell me if I take Celebrex for inflammation of my chest following a bout of Whooping Cough, whether it will interact with the Lamotrigine? I have been taking Brufen, but have run out and cant afford more. I have Celebrex tablets from a previous knee injury and wish to use if safe to do so? ## Hello, Jacquie! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed, but it is always best to double check such information to be sure. You should also make sure that it is safe for you take NSAIDs. Celebrex may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Verwon, thanks so much for the response...

Pending a formal diagnosis (one psychiatrist felt I was low-level bipolar, my current psychiatrist feels I have a severe mood disorder involving extreme lows and highs, but without the delusions associated with bipolar). I have recently been put on a course of lamotrigine - starting on 25mg a day and now on 100mg per day. Initially I felt it had really worked in balancing out my moods. In particular my tendency to engage in risky behaviors (drugs, alcohol and extreme promiscuity) have definitely lessened. However, in the past two weeks my feelings of self-loathing, insecurity and resentment of others have crept back in. Some days I feel utter dread and on two occasions I have been on the verge of tears for no discernible reason. Similarly, my short fuse has returned. I snap at people ar...

Alcohol with epitec: I take 25mg Epitec twice daily. Can I consume a glass of wine on special occasions although I am taking Epitec? ## Drinking alcohol while taking Epitec is not recommended. This medication is reported to contain the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which acts as a central nervous system depressant (as does alcohol). If you really did want a glass of wine then it is highly recommended that you check with your prescribing physician first since they are familiar with your full medical history. While it may be okay to drink a single glass of wine (moderation), it is best not to take a chance without knowing if you are specifically at risk for an interaction.

how soon can you present with a reaction to lamectal, blistered on lip and rash all over only started 2.5days ago taking 1/2 of a 25mg tablet ## I will assume that you are talking about Lamictal (spelling correction) Please seek medical attention ASAP: "Lamotrigine prescribing information has a black box warning about life threatening skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.[9] The manufacturer states that nearly all cases appear in the first 2 to 8 weeks of therapy and if medication is suddenly stopped then resumed at the normal dosage. Patients should seek medical attention for any unexpected skin rash as its presence is an indication of a possible serious or even deadly side effect of the drug. Not all rashes that occur while taking lamot...

I have been taking Epitec 25mg for almost 2 weeks now and am due to start the 50mg soon. I am reluctant to do so as I have not been sleeping well since I started using using them and also have a slight headache all the time, further more I feel quite aggressive. Please tell me whether this is normal or should I discontinue to use them? regards ## Epitec contains the active ingredient Lamotrigine, this is an anticonvulsant that is also used as a mood stabilizer. The symptoms you listed are all normal side effects, you may also experience: nausea, nightmares and mouth ulcers. Side effects, however, should start to taper off, as your body gets used to the medication, but this could take several weeks and they may become more pronounced for awhile, when you increase your dosage.

I was diagnosed with meningioma 5yrs ago and became epileptic thereafter. I was prescribed Tegretol 400mg twice a day for depression & I'm taking Brintellix 20mg + Cilift (citalopram) 20mg that I've just been prescribed along with Lamictin (lamotrigine) 25mg. Does this mean I have bipolar disorder? ## Has a doctor diagnosed you as having bipolar disorder? Taking a medication that is most commonly prescribed for a specific condition doesn't necessarily mean that you have that condition, it might be that the medication is known to help with issues/symptoms that you're experiencing. Many mental health medications help with a wide variety of mental health issues, and some of the anti-epileptic medications are known to help with nerve pain. What did your doctor say was th...

FOUND IN SON'S ROOM, SMALL WHITE DIAMOND SHAPE PILL WITH 39 ON ONE SIDE AND 93 ON THE OTHER. ## I have also come across this white diamond shaped pill with the 93 and 39 on it- ???? what is this? ## I am not sure what your son thinks this is, but this tablet contains 25mgs of Lamotrigine, a generic for Lamictal. This is an anticonvulsant medication that is also used to treat BiPolar disorder.

What over the counter med can I take in place of Hydroxyzine hcl 25mg? ## Hydroxyzine is used to relieve the itching caused by allergies and to control the nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including motion sickness. It is also used for anxiety and to treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. I'm not sure if it has any other uses outside of those mentioned above, but if you're looking for a replacement medication, I think it'll largely depend on what reasons you're taking it for? ## Need hydroxyzine for allergies, nausea and anxiety as I'm trying to wean off of lithium and lamotrigine.

This is the first time Costco mail order pharmacy has sent me these pills, the previous ones I have been taking for five years were also a generic but I do not remember their color but think they were two colors, one color was white and I believe the other was green. Ever since I started taking the blue pills, my FBSS pains in my legs have greatly increased. I took the fluoxetine primarily for relief from these pains, along with 150 mg Lyrica, 2mg clonoxepam, 50mg prestiq, 25mg amitriptyline, and 50mg lamotrigine daily. Is it possible that these new blue pills, which I understand are made in India by Alembic, are sufficiently different than the previous generic Fluoxetine to cause this increase in pain.
