Won't lamotrigine work if it works?
I mainly feel burning in my head, throbbing, dizziness... What bothers you the most
If the doctor says it's a good dose, as I say, I've been feeling bad for over 2 months, I have relapses. The doctor insists on his position. Unfortunately, I know what I feel. Should these symptoms no longer be there?

Symptoms such as tremors, dizziness and tingling may be side effects of an increased dose of lamotrigine, which, despite normal concentrations in the body, may persist for a long time.
Your doctor should be consulted immediately to assess the need for dose adjustment or change of treatment. Do not stop or change the dosage of the drug yourself, as this may worsen your condition.
In the meantime, you can also monitor your symptoms and record their severity, which will help your doctor make a therapeutic decision. If the symptoms are very severe or additional serious symptoms appear (e.g. coordination disorders, ataxia, seizures), urgent medical attention is necessary.
