Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Imogene. She is taking it for Bipolar. She had gotten to the point of not having mania, anxiety or OCD with the combo of Geodon and Paxil, but she is still having problems with the depressive cycle, which is interfering a lot with her functioning. I am hoping the combination of the 3 will finally give her a break and allow her to function well and fully attend school again. Thanks for the information.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Kim, Yes, my son (15) started it a few months ago. He had an abnormal EEG that showed some kind of seizure activity during sleep. He started on a very low dose and gradually increased it to 200 mg/day. He has done very well on it. From practically the first day, he said it made him feel better . He has had a generally positive outlook and things don't get him down so much. I know it is used for epilepsy, but also as a mood stabilizer. I suspect that it has really helped him most as a mood stabilizer. Good luck with it, Sinead Lamictal My daughter is starting Lamictal tomorrow. Does anyone have any good or bad experience with this? She is also on 180 mg of Geodon and 40 mg of Paxil. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm on it, more for my bipolar. I'm not sure it's helped my OCD. I really don't have side effects. I take my whole dose at bedtime. I once tried to split it and take some in the AM, but I did get drowsy. Laurie mnmomof1@... wrote: My daughter is starting Lamictal tomorrow.
