Does anyone that is taking lamictal have to get blood tests to check for levels, problems etc..? My doc says no and all that I've read says no, but it seems odd because every other drug I've taken or read abouy says that monitering those things is important. Thanks

I've not been in great shape for several months now. I'm due to see my psychiatrist on 17th Oct.I've been getting huge waves of anxiety for no reason and for me that means it's dysphoria or whatever it's called - the BP2 equivalent of mixed state, a kind of agittated depression.I've been taking small does of seroquel at night to try and knock it back but basically it's getting worse..so long...

My doc says it's not necessary. I was told
by the psychologist that referred me to
him 10 years ago that he's the best in Kansas City. So, I trust what he says.
As an RN, I've also read info on my on,
& haven't found that bolood tests are necessary; although you're right many other meds do require frequent blood tests.
