Lamictal contains Lamotrigine.
Lamotrigine is a medicine for epilepsy and bipolar disorder. In bipolar disorder, it is especially helpful for preventing low (depressive) episodes.
What is it used for?
- Epilepsy (focal and generalised seizures) in adults and children
- Preventing depression episodes in bipolar disorder
How does it work?
Lamotrigine calms overactive nerve cells in the brain by blocking sodium channels and reducing the release of glutamate, an excitatory chemical messenger.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not stop taking it suddenly, even if you feel well. This can bring on seizures. Your doctor will lower the dose slowly if you need to stop.
- A small number of people taking seizure medicines have thoughts of self-harm. Tell your doctor straight away if you notice changes in your mood.
- It can make you sleepy or dizzy. Do not drive until you know how it affects you, and follow the driving rules for epilepsy in your country.
- Alcohol can make drowsiness worse and may make seizures more likely.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some seizure medicines can harm an unborn baby, but stopping suddenly can also be dangerous.
- Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems.
- The dose must be increased very slowly over several weeks to lower the risk of a serious rash. Never start at a high dose.
- Valproate greatly increases lamotrigine levels, and some contraceptive pills lower them. Your doctor will adjust your dose.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Lamictal can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Feeling sleepy or tired
- Dizziness or feeling unsteady
- Headache
- Feeling sick
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Thoughts of harming yourself, or sudden changes in mood or behaviour
- A severe skin rash, especially with blisters, peeling, mouth sores or fever
- Seizures that are more frequent or last longer
- Fever, swollen glands and feeling unwell (a rare allergic reaction)
- Any new rash, especially in the first 8 weeks. Contact your doctor straight away.
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it once or twice a day, with or without food.
- Follow your doctor's starting plan exactly. A common plan is 25 mg a day for 2 weeks, then 50 mg a day for 2 weeks, then slowly higher.
- If you miss more than 5 days, do not restart at your usual dose. Ask your doctor, as you may need to start slowly again.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QCan I stop Lamictal if I have not had a seizure for a long time?
- A
Only with your doctor's advice. Stopping suddenly can bring seizures back. If stopping is right for you, it will be done slowly.
- QCan I drink alcohol with Lamictal?
- A
It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol. It can make you more drowsy and may trigger seizures.
- QCan I drive while taking Lamictal?
- A
It depends on your seizure control and local driving rules. Ask your doctor.
- QWhy is my Lamictal dose increased so slowly?
- A
Increasing it slowly greatly lowers the chance of a serious skin rash.
