Lamator DT (Lamotrigine 100 mg) is a mood stabilizer commonly prescribed in bipolar disorder. It helps more in controlling depressive symptoms and preventing future mood episodes, but it is not primarily an anti-anxiety medicine. If you are still experiencing sadness, crying spells, or anxiety, it means your treatment plan may need adjustment.
Next Steps
Please review with your treating psychiatrist — sometimes dose adjustment or adding another medication (for anxiety or acute depressive symptoms) is required.
• Do not stop Lamotrigine suddenly, as it can lead to relapse of symptoms.
• Share with your doctor the exact nature of your anxiety, sleep, mood swings, and any stressors.
Health Tips
Self-adjusting medicines is not advisable in bipolar disorder. Always consult before changing doses.
• Along with medicines, regular sleep, structured routine, and psychotherapy (CBT, supportive therapy) can help reduce anxiety and improve mood stability.
• If you ever develop thoughts of harming yourself, please seek emergency help immediately
