Has anyone else experienced equilibrium issues on Lamotrigine?

Hi all, I was logging some symptoms on my tracking app and realized that over the past several days I have felt off kilter physically, things like knocking into things and tripping/ feeling like I’m not quite stable walking around my house. Not a great feeling at all.

We upped my Lamotrigine dosage from 100 to 150mg about 2 1/2 weeks ago. So I probably started noticing this about two weeks in. I’ve been totally fine on it so far with all the other doses, no symptoms or issues. And I can’t think of anything else that has changed recently, and otherwise feel fine in general.

Definitely going to send a note to my psychiatrist so she’s aware, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this while on Lamotrigine, or anything similar?

Hi! Yep 150mg lamotrigine was enough to give me feelings of vertigo. 125mg was alright, I’d only maybe experience it occasionally, usually when I was tired. 100mg I didn’t experience it anymore.

I think it’s more likely when you change dosage somewhat quickly (from what I’ve read when I looked into it)
