Lamotrigine (Lamictal®) is used to treat bipolar disorder and epilepsy. In clinical studies on lamotrigine and bipolar disorder, people taking the drug went longer without having an episode of mania or depression, compared to those not taking it. The drug is taken by mouth, usually once or twice a day. To maintain an even level in your blood, it is important to take lamotrigine at the same time(s) each day. Nausea, headaches, and dizziness are some of the side effects that can occur during treatment.
