I wish u all well if u need ore help im here
Did you tell the ENT you took lamictal? If you did, I'd get another ENT opinion and not disclose that you take it. He/she may have just been stumped and blamed it on your medicine. I don't think it's a coincidence that you had all those ear infections and the ringing started.
I had ringing in my ears from Lamictal but only for the first 4 days that I started it. I'm surprised you got it after taking it for so long. I'm not a dr but I would think your 4 ear infections might be the cause. Maybe another ENT opinion. Did you ask your psyc dr if this is possible after taking Lamictal for 1.5 yrs and then for this to all of a sudden happen?
As for the Prozac that you were on for 15 yrs, if it worked so well, it makes since to me to go back on it. Since you have Bipolar, your dr may add a additional med. This would be new to me to only have a antidepressant with Bipolar. Also if you were on Prozac and he added the Lamictal, maybe the Prozac was not working as well by itself.
You probably already know this but antidepressants are known for making many people Manic. I'm very glad this has not happened to you. I hope you find your answers soon, Crystal
