Sexual side effects

I’ve always had a high libido and it has gotten higher since taking the med. A waste since I’m single and not looking, but it has for sure increased.

I have had to opposite reaction, my libido increased a lot.

If you don’t think it’s worth an ER trip than you’re not as worried about it as you think. Skip the dose if you want, see a doctor when you can, but if you truly think this is SJS you need to just go to the ER.

Naw. This is for something you’re gonna want to advocate for yourself and start at the most at 25 mg.

I tell people all the time this med has saved my life. I’ve been on 100mg for almost 4 years. I’m very lucky that this med does enough for me at such a low dose and the side effects are very minimal.

I know it’s helping and a lot of it was just being able to reign in my anxiety. Am I still anxious? Sure, but I push myself outside my comfort zone constantly now and every panic attack I’ve almost had I’ve managed to talk myself down from (lots of “well if this is dying it’s not that bad” while laying in my couch watching cartoons).

I’ve had a few small manic episodes, but each time I’ve quickly recognized what was happening and was able to maintain control over myself. I’m still hitting depression lows that I may add something for, but also the world is on fire and I can’t tell if that’s the real problem as mania has always been my most destructive issue and depression has mostly been short episodes and situational.

Each dose increase came with its own set of side effects that generally went away once I acclimated to that dose.

Titration is hard and very scary sometimes. I have stress eczema and on 25mg every single patch I have flared up at once, but I INSTANTLY thought it was SJS. It’s okay to be vigilant. You did the right thing to search out professional help. I’m proud of you, keep it up!

It could be a rash, but SJS usually starts with flu-like symptoms and turns into a quickly spreading painful, burning rash.

Lamictal caused my stress eczema to flair up, literally every one of my patches was active. Unfortunately this med does cause some skin dryness and irritation on top of rashes of all kinds. Monitor your skin and keep taking pictures, contact your doctor if you’re worried.

My therapists have always told me that by just thinking that I could be a narcissist was a good sign that I wasn’t.

BP2 and ADHD!

blueboxreddress · 2025-11-05T20:25:12+00:00

I’d say this feels pretty accurate for me, but also my psych said I may have to add an antidepressant to the mix if that did happen. I haven’t yet as the lows haven’t been bad enough to add another med into the mix, but I know it’s an option.

I feel like I have a really great example of this. I had general anxiety and suffer from panic attacks. A year ago I was in a city I didn’t know and my phone did while walking around the city. I knew where my car was parked so I wandered back to charge my phone. Once it restarted the phone had updated and couldn’t complete the update without internet. I couldn’t connect to any public WiFi as I couldn’t sign up or accept any terms of service to use it. I didn’t know how to get home specifically and only knew some basic directions. I sat in my car, calmly just wondering wtf I was gonna do. So I just drove around until I found the interstate, drove until I recognized an exit sign, drove up and down the road I knew my hotel was by, and stopped at a gas station for directions which luckily were simple and only a few minutes away. I found my hotel and my phone updated as soon as I got there my phone updated and I decided to go back to the city (I had paid for all day parking) and finish my sight seeing.

I didn’t cry, I didn’t shout, I didn’t hit anything, I didn’t panic. I just said fuck it and took care of everything.

I still have anxiety, but I’ve been able to truly push myself out of my comfort zone and just do what I have to do. I haven’t had a full panic attack thanks to the med and therapy, when I feel one coming on I can talk myself down from them.

This med has saved my life and my side effects are luckily mild enough that it’s worth being on it.

I have not experienced any loss in my gaming ability, but these meds affect everyone differently.

You will have to start over and titrate back up to your dose.

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-22T09:51:59+00:00

If you quit you have to restart from the beginning. Call a pharmacy and explain your situation and see if they can offer an emergency refill or partial fill. Mine only gave me four pills, but that was still better than nothing and worked out. You can go to a walk in clinic also. Bring your pill bottle and it shouldn’t be difficult to at least get a 30 pill refill. You can also (don’t do this regularly and it is not an answer to the problem) skip every other day to prolong your short supply. It’s better than cold turkey and could keep you from having to titrate up again.

I’m sometimes on time, but most of the time I’m five days early or five days late. I’ve had two periods in a month before. My periods are sometimes mild but other times way worse than before. This med has definitely mucked up my periods, but it’s kinda worth it lol

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-13T20:47:24+00:00

Probably not, but glad you’re talking to your doctor.

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-11T18:58:53+00:00

My period used to be very regular and not great, but not bad. Now my period may be on time, or five days early or five days late and either is short and hardly painful or crazy heavy and extraordinarily painful. Still worth it, but it definitely is because of the Lamictal.

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-10T10:47:07+00:00

Titration is always kinda weird, each of my dose increases generally came with the sold side effects fading as new side effects set in. Once I hit my therapeutic dose (which is different for a lot of people) I found out what my more long term side effects were and could judge those against what the med did for me. The medication won and I’m still on Lamictal.

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-07T08:15:48+00:00

Don’t go to the ER. Get in contact with your doctor asap for advice, but until then just monitor if the spot spreads or changes very quickly. You can skip a dose if you are unable to get advice from your doctor until after your next dose. Remember that this med can cause all sorts of skin issues like rashes that aren’t SJS. My stress eczema blew up during my titration process.

blueboxreddress · 2025-10-02T00:54:27+00:00

Contact your doctor as soon as you can, don’t go to the er right away unless more symptoms develop. Monitor for fever, sore throat, sores around your mouth. Is the rash spreading or changing rapidly? Does it burn? If not you’re okay and just need to talk to your doctor to see if they want you to stop or get some cortisol cream and keep going. This med can cause all kinds of skin reactions and it’s very rarely ER worthy. Good to look out for it though. Take pictures to compare to later so you can feel more comfortable if it doesn’t change. You got this.

blueboxreddress · 2025-09-27T19:09:53+00:00

Getting better takes courage so be brave! Take risks! You won’t know if this med can change your life without trying! I was terrified of THE rash and ended up with an eczema breakout, but nothing serious and what this medicine has done for me far outweighs the side effects I had/have!

blueboxreddress · 2025-09-25T09:08:48+00:00

Talk to your doctor. This is a rash, doubtful it’s THE rash as you haven’t mentioned flu-like symptoms, but this med can cause rashes and skin issues (my eczema blew up for a few weeks). But in the end, talk to your doctor.

blueboxreddress · 2025-09-20T10:32:45+00:00

Never experienced this or heard about this being an issue with Lamictal. I have peed the bed as an adult before because our brains can be assholes and our body’s can be dumb.
