In reply to Lamictal can cause dizziness, posted by Lazarus on June 16, 2006, at 17:53:11
> I took Lamictal and experienced profound dizziness, dizziness so bad I had to go to the emergency room. The physician said that it was the Lamictal and to discontinue it, which I did.

Obviously, I quit the Lamictal while I still had one left. The dizzines gets better as the brain adapts to having only one balance system, but the one is still dead. I keep wondering whether this has happened to anyone else on Lamictal. Seems a rather dangerous side effect if my experience were not just a fluke...
