I started with Lamotrigine which was magical, then nz stopped funding it and went to Lamictal. Regressed and felt suicidal. My neuropsychiatrist applied for a compensation and back on it. Taking 2x 100mg a day and an extra one anytime I feel a panic attack coming on. This has been up to 6x a day. Works within 15 mins which makes life manageable at the worst of times. good luck.

But lamotrigine and Lamictal are the same medication.

I was on lamictal for many years and currently am not. It does interfere with the birth control pill, if that is a concern.
