Licab is good but lorasure and trinicalm plus can themselves be the reason for bringing you down. There are medications like lamotrigine and others, which needs to be prescribed after psychiatrist consultation along with others, which can really make your mood up. Get a second opinion from any psychiatrist. Good luck.

Its highly unlikely that a psychiatrist will start anyone with anxiety disorder on lamotrigine and gabapentin. There are other better and safe medicines available in the market. Anyway, for now you should consult a psychiatrist for reassessment and to decide whether these meds can be tapered off and stopped.

Dear lybrate-user,
probably you have been having recurrent attacks of depression more frequently. That is why your doctor has put you on lamitor. Lamotrigine is a mood stabiliser which will reduce the severity and duration of next attack of depression. It may be increased to 200 mg if you don't get desired benefit. Your doctor might have gradually increased lamotrigine dose to prevent serious skin reaction as side effect. If you did not get skin problem in first 6 months or so, lamotrigine i...more

Dear , zeptol (carbamazepine) is a teratogenic drug, that may harm the foetus. It is ok to take it now. You delay pregnancy by few years (5 years). By the time of pregnancy you may try gradually tapering and stopping it. If not possible few other safer anti-epileptic medicines like lamotrigine may be tried, although small risk of cleft palate is there, but no very serious risk.

Dear lybrate-user,
None of the anti epileptic drugs are safe to use during pregnancy but are given in patients as the risk of getting seizures gets high. There are certain newer drugs like leveteracitam and Lamotrigine which are safer to use than those you are using and hence you should try to conceive and should consult your neurologist regarding changing the medicines once you conceive.
