I was diagnosed with BP 2 and Dr wants me to take 25 mg of Lamictal. Im scared to death. Is anyone else on it? I need a pep talk.

Hi boy mom
I have taken Lamictal for several years and it works well for me. I’m currently on 400mg in the evening and 100 mg in the morning. I started by taking 25 mg at a time and my dose was adjusted as needed.
The dose is started small bc it’s possible for a rash to happen that can be very bad, it’s rare but you need to keep an eye out when you start or go up in dose
I’ve never had any problems with it, but don’t be afraid to ask specific questions of your doc or your pharmacist whenever you start a new med.
I hope I’ve help a bit and made you less afraid

Thank You, I just got diagnosed friday after 20 yrs of taking anti depressants for anxiety and depression. I am kinda bummed about it but I am ready to feel better. I have always been afraid of taking medications.
