[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 228409, member: 3419"] Kjs, I am so sorry. He's been having these headaches for a long time. I would definitely deal with-the anxiety issue, because his stress level can be either causing some of the headaches or making them worse. I would look into anxiety medications, and cognitive therapy. (I don't know how you will do this financially, except that both should be covered by ins. and you can put the copay on a credit card.) And yes, absolutely, Tylenol can cause stomach upsets. In fact, (dont' tell difficult child this) it's horrible for the liver. In fact, as a side note, Lamictal is not recommended for people with-liver disease. I found the info below on a website, in reg. to Lamictal. It does talk about lightheadedness, but more in terms of eyes rather than ears. Your difficult child could be having a mild allergic reaction, in addition to an inner ear issue. ****Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: [LIST]<LI itxtvisited="1">the first sign of any skin rash; <LI itxtvisited="1">fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash; <LI itxtvisited="1">chest [URL="http://www.drugs.com/lamictal.html#"]pain[/URL]; <LI itxtvisited="1">pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding; <LI itxtvisited="1">fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; or <LI itxtvisited="1">muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness with fever or flu symptoms and dark colored urine; or [*]nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
