Lamez 25 MG Tablet Health Feed

The most common side effects associated with epilepsy medicines are: drowsiness, irritability, nausea, rash, and clumsiness. Some drugs produce changes in emotions, memory or behavior, or affect learning. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment plan.

Dear Asha,
Good that you took care of your ailing mom normally and responsibly. It is because you were not depressed during that period.
Lamitor is a mood stabiliser to prevent your recurrent depressive episodes. 100 mg has done its work, i suppose.
Now why do you want to reduce the dose? For side effect or you can not afford the cost?
If so, be prepared to get another episode of depression and make arrangements to bring you into treatment before you become suicidal or deluded....more

Kindly tell me how long you have been taking and how are you feeling symptom wise. I can help you to reduce the dosage.

Dear lybrate-user,
lamictal is a mood stabiliser and it prevents recurrent episodes of low mood in the long run.
To lift your mood further, paroxetine and therapy will help. There are few add on supplements too, like same, 5ht, thyroxine, vitamin d, ect. Please discuss your mood and memory problems with your psychiatrist.

Cognitive changes, i. E. Memory can be due to depression or the medications. You have to consult your psychiatrist and he might assess for the same. Based on the finding the medications can be altered or added. Good luck.

You need not have to change the medication, if you are better. For anxiety, you can increase dose of medication. What is the Dose of lamotrigine, fluoxetine?

In case of epilepsy since you are on meds for 3 years, if the seizures are completely controlled and eeg is normal, a trial of gradual taper of medicines can be given. But always taper medicines after consulting your neurologist. And there is always a chance of recurrence so that risk has to be borne in mind.

Lamotrigine is not a primary antidepressant, but a weak mood stabiliser. So if the symptoms are still present consult any psychiatrist in person or online and get a primary antidepressant. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
please visit your doctor often and discuss the changes you need to make. Both lamotrigine and fludac will be increased according to the assessment on that visit. In bipolar disorder. The mood changes from low to normal and high. At times, even mixed phase will be there. Accordingly the fludac will be increased or stopped, an anti-psychotic may be added for short term. Lamotrigine will be continuous for all phases of mood.

Hi
intrusive thoughts and depression is an outcome of something that you experienced or witnessed in your life. While medications help, it is good to meet a psychotherapist who will work with your emotions attached to the symptoms and help you recover for good.
