I don't know about the lamictal, because I have never taken it... I am confident that the topomax is causing this for me. When I started the med, the waxiness began...when I stopped the med, the waxiness subsided. I have found blogs where people experienced the terrible acne that I experienced(acne is a listed side effect), and people spoke of oily skin..but this is the only site that I found that describes the waxiness. I really don't think this is my new composition. I think there is something in the topirimate that alters hormones to create this condition....just a guess as it also can alter menstural cycles. Please keep us updated if ur waxiness continues to improve now that u no longer take the seizure meds.~Laura
