Hi. Nobody knows how Lamictal really works. Medical experts believe that Lamictal has effect on chemicals in your brain which are involved in seizures and in bipolar disorder. I am on Lamictal too, but I suffer from NES. In some really rare cases Lamictal is related with severe life-threatening rashes. If you notice any kind of a skin rash, allergy-like symptoms and sores in your mouth, you should seek emergency medical help. Some people suffering from seizures may experience increasing frequency of seizures while taking Lamictal. I have to wear my medical identification tag all the time. Lamictal can make you feel dizzy. It can also cause blurred vision and poor concentration.

I started taking Lamictal for Bi-Polar 2 disorder. I was severely depressed adn angry all the time. I started on Lamictal and at first it made me feel a bit foggy. The side efffects go away, and severe effects like rash are VERY rare. So stick with it. I feel OK for the first time in my life. No depresssion, no anger just NORMAL. I wasn't sure there was such a thing.
