I've been taking lamictal since the summer of 2014. I have a bad reaction to pretty much anything I take and this is no different. I end up going off most things I take and not going on anything new because the side effects outweigh the pros. Lamictal is destroying my teeth. Its causing multiple cavities and gingivitis. I take excellent care of my teeth. My doctor raised my lamictal in September and since I have had violent dangerous night terrors. I've tripped and fallen and hurt myself on furniture running out of the room and I have come close to falling down stairs. My pdoc doesnt seem all that concerned. When I told him about it his reply was: don't fall down the stairs.
