Lamictal OCD Intrusive thoughts


Recommended Posts

I just wondered if anyone else with OCD found that taking Lamictal made things worse? I keep seeing online how its supposed to help with OCD but since starting it my horrible intrusive thoughts and dreams are increasing. They had pretty much disappeared before I had started taking the drug. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not. I could just be a truly horrible person.

I suffer from OCD and took lamictal but I don't believe it made it worse...However I was on a cocktail of other medications at the same time that could have masked that. I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. The experience you are having sounds like what happened with me and Buspirone. It was supposed to help with my anxiety but left me crying in the fetal position from prolonged panic episodes. Long story short: Talk to your doctor and see if there is something else out there for you.
