My psychiatrist just prescribed me lamotrigine 100 mg (the first week I have to take 1/2 pill per day, then 1 pill per day) but I forgot to mention the insulin resistance and that I'm currently experiencing pain in the right upper quadrant.
Thank youu for your help.

Hi Lifetime,
Whenever I am unsure of the interaction between medications I do two things. Firstly I ring our local Chemist where I will get the new script filled and ask to speak to the Pharmacist. I ask them if there is any interaction between what I am currently on and the medication just prescribed. Since they are the ones filling the script they are very helpful and forthcoming with any interactions, since they have a duty of care. I will also check on the website crazymeds to see what listed interactions there is.
As for my stomach problems, they have subsided. I honestly think my issues had more to do with the immense stress I was under than any medication based issues. Since posting I have made some major changes in my life and lifestyle in order to reduce stress, and my stomach has settled as part of the process. I don't think Lamotrigine had anything to do with it, and for me, it works really well touch wood.
I hope you have similar success. Keep us posted on how you go
