fairchild Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I used to have really bad mood swings, seemingly alternating between severe depression and anger/anxiety. I still do get angry a lot of the time, but it has been a lot less since I started on Lamictal. That said, I completely lost my shit at work a few weeks ago and had meltdown in office where I smashed my keyboard into pieces. I know all about irrational anger. Anyway, per your question, I can't say if Lamictal contributes to my occasional anger outbursts, but I do believe that it lessens it a lot of the time. My anxiety has decreased dramatically since I started on Lamictal, not that I don't still freak out from time to time. Good to have another metal head on CB. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Listening to Amon Amarth right now as I write this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi draco I don't get like that on lamictal, but some people find it activating so I can understand how that would happen. I don't know much about trileptal. Maybe talk to your pdoc about something less activating when you talk about the anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 While I was titrating up on it, it made me "wired" and restless, which translated into irritability. As I've gotten to a stable therapeutic dose, though, I've found that it's decreased my anxiety and irritability. Crazymeds might have some better info, and drugs.com has a great interactions checker, too, in case that might prove relevant. If you're in doubt, it's certainly legitimate to bring up with the prescribing doc. Anger issues are shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
