Hi, I been taking lamictal 75 mg daytime and 50 mg in evening. Considering that the level of lamicatal in blood was low, my Doctor suggested that I increase the dose by another 25mg, which means that now my daily dose is 75 mg twice a day. I am not sure if it's just a coincidence or a side effect because I have started experiencing heart burn and chest pain 48 hours after taking the medication. I have had to seek emergency help at hospital, they checked for heart attack (by a blood test) which was negative. Has anyone had a similar experience. Looking forward to replies and thanks in advance. Krish.

Hey Krish,
It is quite possible that the symptoms you are experiencing are from the Lamictal. For further reference, the list of side effects can be found at:

If you continue to experience chest pain, please alert the prescribing doctor.
Best wishes,
Laurie
