Dear Manny,
Lamotrigine is NOT routinely used in the treatment of OCD. But if your doctor diagnosed your OCD as a symptom of mood disorder, he/she will prescribe lamotrigine. Talk to your doctor about it. In a bipolar mood disorder, OCD, Depression etc are common symptoms.

Literature mentions that lamictal has drug interactions with: valproic acid, carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone and olanzapine.
No hormones mentioned. All birth control tablets mainly have similar hormones.

Dear lybrate-user,
Lamitor Is usually given as a mood stabilizer for a long term use. It can not be stopped even after you feel okay. It prevents future episodes of depression. Probably you may need some antidepressant at present along with lamitor. Discuss with your psychiatrist without stopping lamitor.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. As you are aware, depression is a neuro chemical disorder and therefore the treatment should be targeted towards enhancing or reducing those chemicals biologically. But these medicines are used for maintaining the balance. In that sense, with the present medicines, you will have to continue forever. I suggest online cognitive therapy. Take care.

Hi! If you are suffering from OCD definitely you can overcome naturally also. Either undergo treatment from a Professional Psychologist at your locality or online Psychologist for the same. If you are interested you can contact me either through text chat or online consultation yes you are most welcome. No worries. Nature has given many solutions and ways to solve the problem, but if you cannot find one, definitely you need to seek a Professional help.

Dear lybrate-user,
Are you taking both Celith and Epitic as mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder?
If so, please take both. Sometimes lithium carbonate helps well to control mania but not depression. Lamotrigine controls depression well.

Lamotrigine is usually titrated up gradually, but do not do it on your own. The psychiatrist will peridocally assess the benefits and risks and reach the optimal level, for some it may be 100, for some much higher. Good luck.

Hi lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Additionally, I shall recommend the following natural measures to alleviate your headache issue. To manage and alleviate pain, you can try light tapotement, with your fingers, on the head, including back side of your head, for 5 to 10 minutes.

Lamitor is a weak mood stabiliser, I don't think os it will help, consult a good psychiatrist and get proper treatment. All the best.

Dear Basharat,
Because of your feeling of emotionally upset and sad mood, Lamitor was prescribed to you. It had not come up after the tablets.
Lamitor dose will be built upto 200 mg over few more months. Then you will not be upset of sad mood. All the best.
