Lamictal can cause these issues, but not everyone gets them.
Since it may prevent migranes from happening it helps with the symptoms of migranes, which tend to be severe. But you are right what about the side effects? Like I said not everyone gets them.
This is the art of pharmacy - it is a balance between side effects and benefit. If you find that you are getting side effects and they are not worth experienceing then you should talk with the doctor. You may have to switch or not use anything at all. There are many differnt kind of medicines that are available.

I'm on lamictal. have had no side effects--works great for me, but i've never heard of it used for migraine treatment... topamax is a better drug for that. however, if you're experiencing nausea/vomiting. i highly suggest zofran as an anti-nausea medication. my personal experience is that it's highly effective. sorry i could not be more helpful!
