Lithium does this. I think you are safe so long as you don't drink soda/juice/whatever and mainly drink water. Also drinking plenty of water is good because you can mistake hunger for thirst.

I have been on lamictal for several months and find it doesn't increase my need to urinate or make me thirstier.

Some people say it does, but I've never had that side effect.

Never noticed this with Lamictal ... Lithium yes but not Lamictal . Anything is possible with Psych meds.
Best thing to do is to call your Pdoc and advise them what is going on.. They will know what to do.

Hi. I've been taking Lamictal since April 2013 and have not experienced it. *just my two cents*

I am with Christina - call the pdoc. Actually, now that it is the weekend, call the pharmacist.
I used to take Lamictal with no side effects. It is a suspicious symptom, especially for a drug that generally has a pretty benign side effects profile, so I would sound an alarm. Of course, the advice to drink fluids a lot is always helpful, but I would report this side effect to the pdoc. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
