Has anyone ever taken lamotrigine for anxiety but according to the doctor its mini seizures that are causing these. I started taking lamotrigine after taking so many anxiety medication for the past couple years and I feel great the best I ever had in years and am still also on my 50mg of zoloft

I'm taking 200mg for what has been described as a "mood stabilizer".

You're having mini seizures because of lamotrigine? Anxiety attacks are causing mini seizures? I don't quite follow. The most major side effect I am aware of is a rash. Apparently, said rash is no joke. If you experience a rash, contact your doctor immediately. After taking it for some time, you become less at risk of developing a rash.

You indicate you're feeling the best you have felt in years. I guess I'm unclear as to what your concern is. Maybe you're just reporting your good fortune? That's fine! Just want to help.

MZ,

Yes, I am a little unclear too, in regards to your Dx/cause of seizures?

Hopefully you are consulting with a neuro?

Give us a bit more information if you can. Glad to hear you are doing so well on your current regimen...this is great news, and may it continue!

S.C.
