Hi. Someone posted about this before and I responded with what I am going to respond now and I am sure you will think I am "nuts". But anyway, when I posted the very same question someone told me to make sure that I had enough salt in my diet while taking Lamictal. Since I am anorexic I do not eat ANY salt. So I used to take a lick of salt before my lamictal and the nauseousness went away. I don't know if it was a placebo effect or what, but it really did work.
Worth a try.

> I am on 150mg per day and I am feeling *very* dizzy and nauseous. Did your dizziness subside? What did your doctor say? But--do note: I have also tried eating less carbs and this can make your blood sugar drop which can cause dizziness. I would suggest eating low glycemic carbs (rye, barley, oats rather than processed wheat or white flour products).
