"it caused me worsening depression, facial acne and messed up my comprehension! i could barely come up with words to say. be aware that depression is an adverse side effect and should be stopped immediately as it only gets worse. i am 21 years old and experienced induced mania because of ssri&#039;s. i was prescribed lamictal 25mg after a psychotic attack. i took it for only 10 days because the depression got significantly worse day by day, especially when i upped the dose, to the point where i didn&#039;t even know who i was . plus it made me numb and nothing was exciting."
