I've been on Lamictal since Aug 2002, things seem fine but again like many anti-convulsants used for Bipolar disorder I have started to notice more hair loss, has anyone here experienced this with Lamictal? My pdoc and gp say this is not a common side effect, making me feel like "how could they base everything on just limited reported side effects"?
On the various sites I have heard the same complaint about the med. too! I know I am not imagining this, if anyone is or has dealt with this problem I'd be interested to hear from you. Thanks, "darkeyes" __________________

I'm not positive, but maybe try taking protein supplements.

Yep, if the thyroid is running slow, that contributes to depression, all another viscious cycle, ha!ha!
