Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses Lamictal (lamotrigine) and indications for its use. Lamictal is a medication that is frequently used in bipolar disorder as a maintenance medication (preventing both manias and depressions for individuals with BPAD).

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions. He is a licensed physician and surgeon in NJ, PA, NY, MD, DE, FL and CA and can provide consultations to individuals via HIPAA compliant Telehealth visits living in these locations.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry. Individuals seeking not only evaluations but long-term psychiatric care, can contact Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates directly.

These videos aim to increase awareness and discussion of mental health topics and to encourage struggling individuals to schedule an appointment directly with a mental health provider. Mental health needs to be normalized, and simply speaking about mental health topics openly, is an important first step.

Dr. Pagnani and Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates are NOT advocating for or against the use of any mentioned psychiatric medications for any specific individual. Additionally, any side effects mentioned are not a complete list of potential side effects or contraindications to taking any mentioned medications, and all risks and benefits of a medication should be discussed with an individual’s provider at an appointment, before starting, stopping or making changes to a medication regimen.

What Are The Long-Term Effects Of Lamotrigine? In this informative video, we will discuss the long-term effects of lamotrigine, a medication commonly used in pain management. While primarily prescribed for epilepsy and bipolar disorder, lamotrigine has gained attention for its role as an adjuvant analgesic in treating certain chronic pain conditions. We will cover essential information about how lamotrigine works, its potential side effects, and the importance of monitoring health while using this medication over extended periods.

Throughout the video, we will highlight key considerations for individuals taking lamotrigine, including the need for regular health check-ups and the significance of communicating any changes in health to healthcare providers. Understanding the balance between the benefits of lamotrigine and its potential risks is vital for anyone considering this medication for pain management.

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness that involves recurring episodes of depression and either hypomania or mania. It normally requires medication to treat the acute episodes as well as keep them from coming back once they resolve. But there are people who go periods of time without medication.

However, if you go too long without meds while you are having an episode, the period of time you spend in those episodes without treatment makes future episodes harder to treat. It’s called the kindling effect.

A therapy that can help bipolar disorder is interpersonal and social rhythm therapy. This therapy has been shown to reduce the time of episodes and delaying the onset of future episodes. This can be useful if you are trying to stay off medication in your interepisode period. Interpersonal therapy focuses on problems in your relationships and social rhythm therapy helps you establish regular daily routines.

Mechanism of Action of lamotrigine:
The precise mechanism(s) by which lamotrigine exerts its anticonvulsant action are unknown. In
animal models designed to detect anticonvulsant activity, lamotrigine was effective in preventing
seizure spread in the maximum electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazol (scMet) tests, and
prevented seizures in the visually and electrically evoked after-discharge (EEAD) tests for
antiepileptic activity. Lamotrigine also displayed inhibitory properties in the kindling model in
rats both during kindling development and in the fully kindled state. The relevance of these
models to human epilepsy, however, is not known.
One proposed mechanism of action of lamotrigine, the relevance of which remains to be
established in humans, involves an effect on sodium channels. In vitro pharmacological studies
suggest that lamotrigine inhibits voltage-sensitive sodium channels, thereby stabilizing neuronal
membranes and consequently modulating presynaptic transmitter release of excitatory amino
acids (e.g., glutamate and asp)

Explore the journey of lithium, a game-changer in the late 1940s, as it transformed the treatment landscape for bipolar disorder. Join Dr. Tracey Marks, a dedicated psychiatrist, in this deep dive into the historical prominence of lithium, its subsequent decline in the wake of second-generation antipsychotics, and the compelling reasons why it might be time for a reevaluation. Delve into the intricacies of lithium's usage, including its narrow therapeutic window, monitoring requirements, and the benefits it offers at the cellular level. As we examine the potential side effects, organ impacts, and compare it with modern antipsychotics, we'll shed light on lithium's unparalleled advantages like its anti-suicidal properties, circadian rhythm stabilization, anti-aging effects, and more. Whether you're newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder or looking for a comprehensive understanding of treatment options, this video promises to be an enlightening exploration of a once-golden treatment. For additional insights into bipolar disorder classifications and medication effects, be sure to check out these two videos.

In this video, Dr. Phelps explains why it is a misconception that lamotrigine is too slow for effective treatment in severe depression cases. Comparing its onset of action to typical antidepressants, he highlights a study demonstrating that lamotrigine can provide benefits at a pace parallel to the olanzapine/fluoxetine combination.

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses lamictal (lamotrigine) and its use in acute bipolar depressions. While this medication can be very effective at preventing bipolar depressive episodes, it can take several months for a patient to achieve an effective dose (due to its risk of Stephen's Johnson Syndrome, a very serious rash) and individuals in an acute depression may benefit from stabilization with another medication, while this is being titrated safely.

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions.

Combination therapy is very common in bipolar disorder because different medications have different purposes. The medication that gets you better, may not be the same medication that keeps you better. Get the Bipolar Medication Handout here https://markspsychiatry.com/bipolar-meds

What are Mixed Episodes? Watch here: https://youtu.be/Nw-1NEwarUg

Typically, people with bipolar disorder require a combination of medications that you take at the same time. Why? Because the medications treat different aspects of the disorder. The main four phases that we target in treating bipolar disorder are Acute depression, Acute mania, mixed states and the maintenance phase.

And acute means it’s the active state that you're in and it's relatively recent. maintenance phase is the in between episodes when things have stabilized.

Not all of the medications work for every phase. So you could be put on a medication because you're manic and then once that mania goes away you can have a depressive episode pop up because that original mania drug isn't doing a good enough job keeping your depression away.

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses the inherent risks of stopping or quickly decreasing lamictal (lamotrigine), Carbamazepine (Tegretol), Trileptal (oxcarbazepine), Gabapentin (Neurontin), Klonopin (clonazepam) and other medications that are used for the treatment of seizure disorders. Even if the patient is utilizing one of these medications (or a similar medication) for a mood disorder (like bipolar disorder) and they do not have a history of seizures or a seizure disorder, withdrawal CAN result in that individual seizing. This is why individuals need to be under the direct care and supervision of a medical provider when taking these medications, and when considering changing doses or stopping a medication.

Taking any medication long term can be scary, and psychiatric medications are no exception. I’ve been on Lamictal (aka Lamotrigine) for ten years, and this is my story. I talk in depth about long term side effects and whether it is still effective after all this time… which is typically what I get asked about when it comes to my treatment since it’s been a decade now.

But Lamictal is amazing and it saved my life, and it’s saved a lot of people’s lives. And while long term side effects can cause one to worry, it’s important to remember that it’s sometimes that specific medication that gave you the ability to get a long term side effect in the first place.

So, put it this way, I’m a very grateful person.

Enjoy :)

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses possible side effects of lamictal (lamotrigine). This mood stabilizing medication can be rather effective for preventing both manias and depressions, and unlike many mood stabilizing medications, may have low risk for weight gain and sexual side effects. With that said, it needs to be titrated slowly, as it does carry the risk of Stephen's Johnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Asceptic Meningitis (all rare, but possible side effects).

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions. He is a licensed physician and surgeon in NJ, PA, NY, MD, DE, FL and CA and can provide consultations to individuals via HIPAA compliant Telehealth visits living in these locations.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry. Individuals seeking not only evaluations but long-term psychiatric care, can contact Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates directly.

These videos aim to increase awareness and discussion of mental health topics and to encourage struggling individuals to schedule an appointment directly with a mental health provider. Mental health needs to be normalized, and simply speaking about mental health topics openly, is an important first step.

Dr. Pagnani and Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates are NOT advocating for or against the use of any mentioned psychiatric medications for any specific individual. Additionally, any side effects mentioned are not a complete list of potential side effects or contraindications to taking any mentioned medications, and all risks and benefits of a medication should be discussed with an individual’s provider at an appointment, before starting, stopping or making changes to a medication regimen.
