Lamictal - Lamotrigine

Lamotngine (Lamictal). Lamotrigine, another anticonvulsant used to treat BPAD, is currently FDA approved for the prevention of both depressive and manic episodes during BPAD maintenance therapy. This represents a shift in the paradigms for BPAD therapy, as medications used to treat acute episodes have also typically been used for antimanic prophylaxis. Lamotrigine is not effective in the acute treatment of mania but has become for many the drug of choice for bipolar depression as well as for prevention of subsequent mood episodes of either polarity.

Three antiepileptic drugs have now been FDA approved as mood stabilizers for the prevention of recurring episodes of mania divalproex sodium (Depakote), extended-release carbamazepine (Equetro), and lamotrigine (Lamictal). Many of these drugs are prescribed to children for the control of epilepsy and, increasingly, for bipolar disorder. A critical question is their effect on the developing mental and emotional function of children, but there is little research on the subject (Loring, 2005). [Pg.213]
