Lamator DT 100 is helpful for Bipolar Disorder, especially for depressive symptoms, but it may not fully control anxiety or sadness alone. Since you are still having symptoms, please follow up with your psychiatrist for a review and possible adjustment of treatment. Do not change the dose on your own.

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
