Hi, has anyone tried Lamotrigine? What does it make you feel like? Does it make your head rigid? Were there tremors? Did it improve your symptoms? Thanks so much… I’m thinking about trying it for schizophrenia but I’m hesitant…

I started it earlier this year. Its been pretty good so far. Mainly on it for depression. I got some bad anxiety/insomnia when starting and on one of my dose increases, but it has less side effects than any AD I tried. I’m on 150mg, might go up to 200 next time I see my pdoc. its worth trying out if you have hit the wall with ADs.

I am on it right now but it seems to be making my anxiety worse. I need to talk to my pdoc next appointment.

I was afraid to try it because of a rare rash that happens but I’m sure I was being paranoid.

Years ago for me, too. I’m on depakote now instead, but I had no issues with lamotrigine. My pdoc only switched me to the depakote after I took myself off every med I was on (bad idea!).
