What should I watch for while using Lamictal (lamotrigine)?
Visit your doctor or health care professional for regular checks on your
progress. If you take Lamictal (lamotrigine) for seizures, wear a Medic Alert bracelet or necklace. Carry an identification card with information about your condition, medicines, and doctor or health care professional.
It is important to take Lamictal (lamotrigine) exactly as directed. When first starting
this treatment, your dose will need to be adjusted slowly. It may take weeks or
months before your dose is stable. You should contact your doctor or health care
professional if your seizures get worse or if you have any new types of
seizures. Do not stop taking Lamictal (lamotrigine) unless instructed by your
doctor or health care professional. Stopping your treatment suddenly can increase your seizures or their severity.
Contact your doctor or health care professional right away if you develop a rash while taking
Lamictal (lamotrigine). Rashes may be very severe and sometimes require treatment in the hospital. Deaths from rashes have occurred
in the past. Serious rashes occur more often in children than adults taking this medication. It is more common for these serious rashes to occur during the first 2 months of treatment, but a rash can occur at any time.
You may get drowsy, dizzy, or have blurred vision. Do not drive, use
machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how
Lamictal (lamotrigine) affects you. To reduce dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit
down or stand up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. Alcohol can increase drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
If you are taking Lamictal (lamotrigine) for bipolar disorder, it is
important to report any changes in your mood to your doctor or health care
professional. If your condition gets worse, you get mentally depressed, feel
very hyperactive or manic, have difficulty sleeping, or have thoughts of hurting
yourself or committing suicide, you need to get help from your health care
professional right away. If you are a caregiver for someone taking Lamictal (lamotrigine) for bipolar disorder, you should also report these behavioral changes
immediately. The use of this medication may increase the chance of suicidal
thoughts or actions. Pay special attention to how you are responding while on
Lamictal (lamotrigine).
Your mouth may get dry. Chewing sugarless gum or sucking hard candy, and
drinking plenty of water may help. Contact your doctor if the problem does not
go away or becomes severe.
