In reply to lamictal for o.c.d.?, posted by lisapo on June 19, 2006, at 12:09:10
> my dr. prescribed me lamictal for o.c.d., i have not seen anyone mention they were on it for that. i am also on lexapro & zanax (when needed). i have had a problem with ocd since i was a young girl & told my dr. i didn't think meds would work, i obsess on so many things, have certain rituals with counting & stuff. i guess i will try it though.
Lamictal for OCD??? hmmm...do you have any other concomitant diagnoses....this alone, for OCD, seems preety strange and not a first line choice by any means. But, who knows it could do the trick. lamictal is very good as a anti-depressant augmenter, but seems to loose effect in time...it is supposed to help derealization and depersonalization problems...but did little for me in that area...it is also an anti-epileptic....
Titrate slow.....
