Why are you on so many meds? A lot of drugs combined can increase the risk of side-effects. I don't know why so many pdocs seem trigger-happy with the drugs. Maybe I'm wrong, but also know there are a lot of crappy psychiatrists out there.

Anyway, it's hard to pinpoint when you are on a big list of pharmaceuticals, but for many people the side-effects of Lamictal go away after a few days or so of the body adjusting to the new dose. Dizziness is fairly common, and hopefully will subside. When I first started Lamictal, I had a few minor side-effects, but now they are all gone, Exocet for the increased thirst, but that could be coincidence with the heat of summer.

Blurry vision, dizziness, tiredness, and a few other sides are considered "minor" unless they persist or bother you. None of the side effects you listed are considerd serious.
