How safe is Lamotrigine? Two of my doctors want to put me on it, but I am scared of the side effects. They think it's a " better option" then the Dilantin I am on, & it would help with my anger & depression problems. I take multiple medications already & don't neccesarily think I should be adding more, or playing around changing meds that I've been seizure free with. Also to be on the lookout for a possibly deadly rash all the time, when you have dry itchy skin, seems like it would cause further anxiety & be rather futile. Anything you could tell me to help with my decision, I would greatly appreciate!

Thank you for responding. That is kind of what I thought too. And I really dont want to have any seizures, especially because I am conscious during them! They scare me to death every single time, I feel like I'm gonna drown on my own spit (sorry so graphic)

Because of the anger & depression. Also having memory & dental issues. I still don't think I should mess with a medicine that has kept me seizure free though. I've dealt with these things as best as I could.
