4. alcohol?
I know that my concerns come from a deeply anxious and somewhat irrational place, but please be patient with me...I've dealt with health anxiety since I was 4 and I'm trying REALLY hard to get this first little lamictal pill down the hatch!

I take one pill in the AM and one pill in the evening. I can't determine if there was any dizziness since it's hard to tell when on multiple pills. I think Seroquel is the med that makes me dizzy at times: not the Lamictal. I never felt nauseous on it. Lamictal never gave me the rash or any skin problems. I will have a drink from time to time on it, but I notice I drink a lot less alcohol when on it. I used to have at least 1-2 drinks almost daily at one period of time, but I only drink occasionally now due to not having much desire to drink.
