strange Lamictal symptom

jaimegirl

I've been on Lamictal for close to 10 years, and I've never experienced that. Is it listed as a common side affect in the printout that your pharmacist gave you? I would try googling it, and also asking your doc.

I don't take Lamictal, but I do take Topamax, and the numbness and drymouth (among other things) are side effects for that, for me.
A quick search showed me that dry mouth is listed as a fairly common side effect, though, although I think it's often listed as a fairly common side effect on most medications.

I had a horrible side effect on lamictal, almost died. The doctors said that if i would'nt call the ambulance for more than 5 minutes i would of died. I got red like if i was burned and swollen i could'nt even see or talk.. i was loosing control and the fever was 106.7.. be careful with lamictal it could be dangerous side effects

I take topamax and its a great medication. It makes me think better it control my seizures and the only thing is that i have kinda dry mouth, i barely taste the food i could eat it, but is like if i am eating nothing cause i dont know how it taste and also it makes me really thirsty... but besides that topamax its a great med ask your doctor to let u try it...

Hey. I have had Epilepsy for the last 7 years. For the last 3 years I have been on Lamictol. It started at 50mg Now I am on 400Mg. They are controlling the GM Seizures but Ive been having other seizure types since taking Lamictol, which are like Panic Attacks at the start where I feel really Scared, Nervous but then I don't remember anything for the 3-4 minutes it lasts. Im dazed after. Anyway last week my doc but me up to 400mg and said it's a new type of Seizure, but Im wondering is what Im experiencing a side effect of the Lamictol? Any Ideas? These attacks are riuning my life and I get so embarrased.
