[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 189702, member: 2423"] Hi Sharon, I've read of other kids who have experienced dizziness, nausea and vomiting on Lamictal. I'm guessing the increased dose is contributing to your difficult child's symptoms. Definitely call the psychiatrist and ask him whether you need to reduce the dose back down or whether your difficult child will adjust to the increased dose after a while. As you probably know, 600 mg Lamictal is a pretty hefty dose (it's the max our neuro uses to treat epilepsy). As an aside, I have two kids who take Lamictal and we're not going to switch to generic. Both our neuro and psychiatrist say that patients frequently have difficulty with efficacy when they've been on a brand-name anticonvulsant and then switched to a generic. I'm not willing to take the chance and risk stability (which as you know is very hard won). Hope your difficult child feels better soon. [/QUOTE]
