Hey everybody,
I have been on Lamotrigine for about 4.5 years and have hit a plateau in my treatment. I know I must either increase my dosage(sitting at 200mg) or change meds completely. I was wondering before I look into other med options has anyone experienced severe acne or drastic change in your skin since going onto Lamotrigine. I always had clear skin all through high school and never once worried about acne. After going onto Lamotrigine at 18-19 years old my skin just exploded and I have struggled for the past 4.5 years to get it under control. I know this isn't a life threatening side effect but it truly affects my self esteem and relationships and if it is the meds and I have an opportunity to try something more beneficial I may just begin looking into other med options completely.
