Lamictal (lamotrigine) medication available online

Lamotrigine symptoms are typically mild and often associated with headache and dizziness. Other side effects may include:

• Blurred vision or double vision

• Loss of coordination

• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

• Sore throat or runny nose

• Difficulty sleeping

• Stiff neck or muscle pain

More severe but less common side effects could include:

• Fast, slow, or fluttering heartbeat

• Chest pain or difficulty breathing

• Flu-like symptoms, such as fever and swollen lymph nodes

• Allergic reactions

If you drink alcohol while taking lamotrigine, you may experience an increased risk of nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.

Lamotrigine therapy can cause an increased risk of a life-threatening, serious rash (called Stevens–Johnson syndrome). Contact your doctor immediately or call your local poison control center if you experience an unusual or allergic reaction, skin rash, blistering or peeling, or painful sores.

Taking anticonvulsant medication can also increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Tell your doctor if your mental health symptoms worsen while taking lamotrigine.
