Mood swings: Lamotrigine usually stabilizes depressed mood, when used for treating bipolar type ii. As it raises energy, mood and effects the related systems, it can lead to mood destabilization/elevated states (hypomania or mania) in susceptible individuals. The nausea more likely is a side effect. Call your doctor today to discuss what you are experiencing and medication management options.
