Went to a psychiatrist-being started on Lamictal.

I finally went to a doctor. My mom came with me, into the psychiatrist's office too, and we talked about stuff. The doctor started off with considering ADHD, but it was just off. My symptoms and mood sings are more alike to Bipolar Disorder. He's starting me off on Lamictal. 25 for two weeks, then 50 until the bottle is gone. Then I take 100 each day.
What should I expect from the meds?
Has anyone else here taken this? What did you think of it?

I was on that and was really happy with it. No side effects and it did its job. Hope it works for you.

Although you are on a lower dose it can cause sensitivity to sunlight so wear sun cream and stay out of the sun as much as possible.

I was on this for a few years, the lower doses helped my anxiety, sleep and I used it as PRN too I think.

Thanks! All of this helps, I wasn't really expecting to be out on anything after one visit, so I don't know much about lamotrigine.

And I'll be sure to keep the sun thing in mind, especially with Summer starting up.
