In reply to Lamictal side effects « Seneca, posted by Dr. Bob on September 3, 2003, at 0:55:26

Hi Seneca, I'm taking Lamictal right now. I really like the medication. It made me nauseas in the beginning and I am still increasing my dosages per my psychiatrist's orders and I still get a little nauseas at times.
I believe Lithium, Tegretol, Depakote, and Lamictal are the most common meds used for bipolars.
Someone else may have more insight for ya:-)
Good luck!
