A member asked:
Is a missed period if you believe it is due to lamictal considered very serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check w/ your doctor: While not impossible, it's difficult to explain how Lamictal would cause you to miss your period. If you're taking an estrogen supplement, Lamictal will speed up elimination of estrogen. Just as likely, however, the condition for which you take Lamictal (epilepsy, bipolar, anxiety) could upset your cycle, causing a missed period. Check with your treating physician, in any case.
