Re: need help with medication advice - mood stabilizers

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Some physicians have found that vitamin supplements have solved the problems

such as the one you mentioned below. I will research this and see if I can come

up with any suggestions. It may take me a day or so, nevertheless I will give it

my best shot.

need help with medication advice - mood stabilizers

Hello everyone. I'm very happy to find support online. I'm new to

this group and newly diagnosed with OCD and Bipolar2 disorders. I'm

writing primarily today in search of help and

information about medication.

I developed cardiac arrhythmia (irregular and/or rapid heart beat)

after taking Lamictal; although my doc has never heard of the

connection between the two. I saw a cardiologist who said the same.

Nevertheless, I went off of Lamictal and the arrhythmias decreased

dramatically in both frequency and intensity. Unfortunately I also

started rapid cycling again without the meds, so I went back on

Lamictal (it really works for me) and feel much better but the heart

is beating irregularly and rapidly with much more intensity and

frequency again - even with cardiac meds that are supposed to

control the beat. I'm writing to ask if anyone else has experienced

this or similar reactions to meds in general and/or Lamictal in

particular? If so, did you find a solution?

- Or, has anyone ever heard of this side effect?

I look forward to reading the posts here to search for answers.

thank you.

There is a great support group for these conditions, known as Truehope. Look

that word up on a search engine.
