Suggest An Effective Alternative For Lamotrigine
Dr., I am taking Androgel for low testosterone; one gel packet/day, and lamotrigine for very irratible, angry mood swings ( first 50 mg/day, and now 100mg/day. I was told by my psychiatrist that this interaction could neutralize the effect of the lamotrigine. I know if I take Andogel 1 every 2 days, it may make tired possibly still effect the lamotrigine. I am causing havoc in my house; yelling at my wife for no reason, getting upset at myself for no reason. This is not my character! I can t take it anymore. Recommendations?

in my opinion it is important to probably start on sodium valproate
instead of lamotrigine
also adequate sleep not having night outs
moderate exercise , water intake is useful
