I've been on Lamotrigine Green Str Kit 25/100mg for a few months now to manage my bipolar disorder, and I've noticed some side effects. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences? What has been your journey with this medication? The importance of starting at a low dose and slowly increasing it is something I've noticed is important. The gradual increase is something that my doctor really stressed as well, what's been your experience with this?

I wish I could just take a magic pill and be cured. But I guess we have to live with the side effects or find something worse.

I've been on it for a few months and I'm doing pretty well. Just make sure to stay hydrated and eat well. It helps with the fatigue.

I've been on Lamotrigine for about a year now, and I can confirm that starting low and increasing slowly really helps with side effects. I had a bit of dizziness and drowsiness at the beginning, but it's manageable now.

I highly recommend keeping a side effects journal. Write down what you experience and when. It helps your doctor make adjustments.

I've been on this med for a while and it's been a lifesaver. I did have some issues with weight loss and stomach problems, but my doctor adjusted the dosage and it's manageable now. Doctors are your best bet when it comes to sorting out issues with meds.

I had a bad experience with Lamotrigine. My doc switched me over to a different drug and I am feeling better than I ever have. It can be frustrating because you don't realize how much better you can feel until you get it right.

Lamotrigine has been a game-changer for my epilepsy. I had some joint pain initially, but it went away after a few weeks. You just have to give your body time to adjust. Gradually increasing the dose is really important, don't rush it. I started with 25mg and slowly increased over a couple of months. It's a slow process, but it's worth it.
