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.
I agree that seems like A LOT of meds. I had to find a new psychiatrist because my last one just kept adding more meds to treat the other meds side effects! Be careful, the less meds the better in my opinion!
Thanks for this!
