What are the Lamictal® Side Effects?
Lamictal®, which is now available in generic form as lamotrigine, is an anti-convulsant medication. Like a number of other anti-convulsants it has proven to not only be useful in treating conditions like epilepsy, but also in the treatment of bipolar disorder, and is actually approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this purpose. For either seizure disorders or bipolar, there can be some strong preference toward using Lamictal® because it can have a lower incidence of certain side effects and be tolerated better by many patients. This is not to say that the medication is free of problems and there are some very serious Lamictal® side effects that bear mention, in addition in to more mild side effects that may or may or may not affect people who take it.
