Epitec And Headaches

Updated

Hi. I'm bi-polar 2. Have bee on Epitec 200 mg for 10 months. It has now been increased to 250mg. I've been doing great, the only problem now is the constant headache. Could this be the Epitec?

I've been on Epitec 300mg for years and have no headache problems. It might effect you differently. Check on the packaging if it could be a side effect.

@Daleen,

These medications can certainly effect each individual differently. To answer your question though, yes, headache is regarded as a severe side effect of Epitec (Lamotrigine), which you should report to your doctor as soon as possible to avoid any worsening of it.

For future reference I think the list of side effects in the link below may be of help to you in knowing what you may or may not experience as a result of taking this medication:

I hope this helps!
