I am 34 yrs old woman and on lamotrigine 25mg twice a day.what are the side effects if i conceive.does it also causes weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relatively minor: You are on a low dose of Lamotrigine and it is likely that you will not experience any new side effects if you conceive. Based on pregnancy registry data, likely safe for babies but not fully clear if any teratogenic risk. It is a weight neutral drug, and will not cause weight gain.
