I am bringing this back up to the top because I can't remember what my pdoc said about possible Lamictal side effects. Can it cause sores on the inside of your mouth? It has been hurting to eat, and I went to the dentist today and she wants me to see an oral surgeon because I have sores on the roof of my mouth, my left cheek, and both sides of my tongue. I seem to remember my pdoc saying that was a possible side effect, but am not sure.

I have 3 weeks before my insurance runs out, and the insurance at the new job won't start till April 1, so I don't think I'll be seeing an oral surgeon anytime soon. I do know one thing that does this to me is certain cereals -- I love Capn Crunch, but it rips my mouth to shreds! Lately I've been on a Cinnamon Toast Crunch kick (yeah, I have a problem with that "healthy" crap like Special K and all ), and that isn't easy on your mouth either.

I'm just hoping there's an easy solution and I don't have to quit Lamictal, because it's the only mood stabilizer I've tried that actually works for me.

Any ideas appreciated.
