I did read somewhere if this happens it usually starts about 4 months after starting well I have been on it 7 months and my hair loss is horrible weaning myself off of it right now and I hope it will stop. One lady had long thick hair and cannot even put it in a ponytail the hair loss is so extreme

Going on week 7 of use. Am now up to 150 mg and my p said that's where I'm going to stay for a while to see how it goes. I have noticed my glands are swollen a little in my neck, and I got a small mouth sore on my gum but it went away on its own. Yesterday I had severe muscle spasm in my legs on the verge of complete muscle failure in the calves more specifically. The headaches went away in week 2 ... Show Full Comment

Going on week 7 of use. Am now up to 150 mg and my p said that's where I'm going to stay for a while to see how it goes. I have noticed my glands are swollen a little in my neck, and I got a small mouth sore on my gum but it went away on its own. Yesterday I had severe muscle spasm in my legs on the verge of complete muscle failure in the calves more specifically. The headaches went away in week 2. No weight gain significant. Bad tummy when I don't eat for over 4 hours or so, and I get extreme thirst at times. I'm seeing my p next week, I will discuss the muscle pain, since it seems to be the most severe issue so far. Can barely walk today due to muscle fatigue out of no where. Sleeplessness for short times, but HOORAY, no agitation or moodiness for 4 weeks now. I'm really proud to know that I'm not an angry depressive person all the time. I'm making art again, writing music....it has given me back "Me" back before depression was an issue.

I have never written a review of anything in my life but I can't say enough about this drug and I wanted other people who are bipolar to benefit. You can start at a low dose and work your way up gradually. Lamictal prevented me from backsliding further into my depression and brought me out of it. I am not depressed and feeling stable for the first time in five months. Please try this drug and ... Show Full Comment

Took it briefly; experienced swelling in feet, as I did with Lyrica. Have stopped it.
