I don't even know how to describe it. I am not worried about this, just wondering if anyone else has anything similar. I have been on it for 15 months and I know symptoms started after starting med bc I remember telling my dad about it.

I get these strange dizzy-ish spells and they mainly occur when talking to someone. If I am face to face talking with someone it's like my head and eyes get overwhelmed with a dizzy (not right word, but no other way to describe) sensation and I have to blink hard and look to the side for a second for it to pass. I don't think people notice bc it is over quickly, but I feel so rude to have to look away when talking.

I just started on this med and I have these "dizzy" spells when walking.

I started experiencing exactly what you both are describing when my Lamictal dose hit 200mg. For me I simply just got used to it. 400mg was too much it made me agitated and felt like I had slight motion sickness.

Lamictal can cause balance issues and word-finding difficulties, especially at higher doses. It's something I've learned to live with.

Lamictal causes word finding issues? I have that trouble right now, and I've barely started dosing on it. I hope it doesn't get worse. It makes me look stupid at work and elsewhere.
