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,

I was on 300 mg. I has horrible heartburn also! I have now reduced to 125 mg and I still have it. Good luck!

OMG!!! I thought I was losing my mind because I was increased last week to 100 mg daily and I had chest pains and went to the ER, too. What are the odds that I just happen to get on this site to see if anyone experienced chest pains while on this medication. I have coronary heat disease and was very worried that this medication is not doing it any good. It's helped my moods greatly but now I'm getting anxiety worrying about my heart and this med. I am seeing my doctor in 2 weeks to discuss this and I'm sure she'll say "I've never heard of anyone having any chest pains while on this". Bull crap. I'm so glad that you wrote a blog on your experience but you just made me feel so much more relieved that I'm not the only one. I, by the way, dropped down to 50 mg in the morning and 25 around 5 or 6:00 pm. I find it kinda gives me a well feeling but I do have energy from it. Thank you so much~~ Ann Marie
