[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 162830, member: 1498"] I have to say that I was suicidal from time to time before I took anticonvulsants (I took Dilantin and Tegretol) and never after I started taking them. I did have a major depressive episode after being on Dilantin and my seizure were controlled for about five years. I had no depressive episodes while taking Tegretol. However, I called my son who took Lamictal and told him about this and he wasn't surprised in the least. Thinking about it, it was after he quit the Lamictal that I became less fearful about him killing himself. We assumed he was just continuing to heal from the damage done by the Celexa; maybe the Lamictal was part of the problem. Once off Lamictal, any suicidal talk was related to how unhappy and miserable his life -- or lack of a life -- had become, that I-hate-my-life talk, different from what he expressed before. [/QUOTE]
