A member asked:
Are these side effects of lamictal from the neurologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: The main side effect to watch for is a rash, which can be very severe, but can often be avoided with slow titration. Other side effects are not common and can include GI symptoms, dizziness, headache, tiredness, low blood counts, etc. There is not enough space to list all the side effects so speak with your doctor.
