Noa, I am just tapering off the lamigotrine(lamictal)because of my hairloss. Giving it a month to see if it is actually causing the hairloss. I have been taking it since July 1999 and it has been an excellent med for me. I was only on 100mg. Needed to be on a higher dose,but felt good even at 100mg. I have tried every mood stabilizer that my pdoc knows about and none of them worked for me except lamictal, hate having to get off of it. Being a female at 37 and losing my hair is just not worth it. The lamictal made me feel great and yes it had an AD effect. No major side effects except headaches in the beginning, however as your doctor will explain it will have to be taken very slowly, because of the johnson-stevenson syndrome (bad rash that needs to be treated asap) Seems it only happens to kids more so than adults. If I find that my hair is still falling out after I have been off tha lamictal, I will go back on it. One other thing it does not interfere with your sex drive at all. YEA God Bless, Amanda
