I couldn't take lamictal because of the rash, but I didn't have a period for 5 yrs when I took Risperdal. Heaven! Stopped it and periods came back

i took lamictal for a while. You really should try not to miss any days because it is a medication that saterates in your blood stream. If you miss the sateration level are off so you will experience some mood change and that risperdal pwew i hated that crap but everyone is differant

I have been on lamictal for over 5 years and I have never heard of this reaction. I think you might want to get a test and make sure you arent preggers. Call the doctor for sure as lamictal can have a negative effect on an unborn fetus.

I take lamictal myself and i don't have a problem with it.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
