Lamictal side effects

[blondie60923]

Hi.  I just started taking lamictal 25 mg twice daily on Monday.  I'm already on lithium, seroquel, viibryd, and klonopin.  By Wednesday I started having headaches, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea.  Does this go away or does it mean I'm going to have to go off it?  Thanks.

   These type of side effects are often worse in the beginning but often improve over time. Make sure to inform your psychiatrist about this
and they can tell you how to proceed.  Part of it may be the interactions
between the various medications. Are they in the process of transferring you from one medication to another? Lamictal requires a very slow titration rate  but only a psychiatrist would understand the clinical specifics and
how they apply. You can ask your psychiatrist more about specific concerns as regards any treatment change and adjustment.
