I had my lamotrigine dose increased by 50mg, so I'm currently taking 200mg a day. It's been a long time since I've felt as good as I do now, but I feel like my body itches quite intensely. I don't have any rash, so I'm wondering if I should associate it with increasing the dose of lamotrigine. I couldn't find a similar thread on the internet. I know that you have to stop taking this substance immediately when you notice a rash, but I don't know what to do in case of the itching itself.

If you develop new symptoms after changing your dose, it is best to consult your doctor. Your doctor will be able to tell if this is related to lamotrigine or if it is the result of other factors.
It is also worth observing whether the itching is the only symptom or if there are other undesirable symptoms. Pay attention to any changes in your well-being, mood or other aspects of your mental health.
Itching can also be caused by other factors such as allergies, changes in personal care, new cleaning products, detergents, etc. It's a good idea to check if you haven't made any other changes in your life that may be causing the itching.
It is important not to stop taking lamotrigine on your own without consulting your doctor. If you stop treatment too suddenly, you can lead to serious health consequences. If your doctor thinks the itch is related to the medication, they may suggest adjusting the dose, changing the medication, or other remedies.
