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!
