Due to an episode in February (and a past episode 5 years ago), my doctor put me on Lamotrigine for "probable epilepsy w/out intractable". I'm now taking 200mg a day (100mg morning and night). Before I started taking it I wasn't entirely stable with my emotions and my long-term judgment making decisions. But now that I've been on Lamotrigine for 2 months I feel more stable emotionally. I've read that many people who took Lamotrigine for epilepsy had the opposite effect and actually became depressed or unstable. Because I'm having positive experiences, could this mean something else is wrong with me that isn't diagnosed?

I'm on this for a mood disorder.
It's a good stabiliser. |

No. As an epilepsy sufferer myself, it's hard to find a medication that works well without side-effects. Be thankful that you found a med that works so well for you! There is no need to worry about something else being wrong with you. All medications work differently on different people. Some people have different side-effects than others; some have no side-effects at all. You are very, very fortunate.
