I tried Lamictal but had to stop because of the skin rash. It was awful. I hope everyone else has a better experience! But honestly, I was scared to death. It made me realize how important being careful is.
Lamictal XR really helps with my bipolar disorder. It's a lifesaver, honestly. But the titration was no joke. I had to adjust my whole routine because of the side effects. But I do feel much better now. Just stay strong and focus on the end goal. You'll get there. Be patient!
I just wanted to say, I'm here for you all! It's a tough journey, but we can get through it together. Let's support each other and share our experiences. It helps to know we're not alone. Remember, you are not alone on this journey
I'm still in the titration phase and it's rough. I get really dizzy and have trouble sleeping. But I'm hopeful that it will get better. I just need more patience. And some more sleep at my age ... what a joke.
I'm on the titration phase as well and it's been tough. I just want to remind everyone to be really careful with this one. Take it slow and follow the dosage exactly. I was really shook by the skin rash stuff
Lamictal XR was a game-changer for me. I had some side effects but they were manageable. Especially if you follow all the guidelines. I'm just so glad I stuck it out. My seizures have been way better.
I can totally relate to the dizziness. It sucked, but I pushed through. I had some issues with my menstrual cycle but it was manageable. My doctor told me to report any major issues. I think a big part of this process is communication with your doctor.
I had a really bad reaction to Lamictal when I first started. I developed a rash and it was so scary! Don't ignore any weird symptoms and make sure you get checked out immediately if you notice anything.
I've been on Lamictal XR for a few months now, and the titration was definitely a challenge. But I've managed it well, kind of. I got really dizzy at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Just be patient and stay in touch with your doctor. My epilepsy has improved dramatically. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually glad I started this medication.
My doctor made me feel so comfortable with this process. I think finding the right healthcare provider is crucial. Especially with something like Lamictal XR. They know what they’re doing so don’t be afraid to ask questions. Also, make sure you get blood tests regularly. It's crucial.
