A member asked:
Are behavioral side effects possible (irritability, anger, etc) on 200 mg of lamictal for bipolar ii? is this possible on such a non-activating drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon, but yes: Yes, this is possible, if uncommon. Make sure you discuss with your prescriber, who will want to check blood levels.
