What is a SPECT?? Should I get one before I ask my psychiatrist for this lamotrigine? Can my psychiatrist give me a SPECT or do I need to see a neurologist or something? Sorry for all the questions.
Lamictal / Lamotrigine treatment
I have recently undergone an array of tests, SPECT being one of those. The results of the SPECT showed that I have a small cluster of over-active neurons in the left parietal lobe. This is apparently a prime indicator for mood disorder, and in my case I have been diagnosed as Bi Polar II and have been prescribed an anti-epileptic named Lamcital.
For those here that have been prescribed this drug for either Bi Polar or DP, have you noticed any alarming side effects? Most notably a drop in your ability to concentrate, memory related problems or any emotional flattening or dulling?
