Lamictal - Ototoxic medication or clonidine?
Can anyone tell me if Lamictal can cause hearing/ problems? I started clonidine and Lamictal at the same time and my ears keep plugging and unplugging and I don’t know why. I already have tinnitus but this is different and I am going crazy.
Has anyone had Lamictal raise blood pressure?

How likely is it that Lamictal will build up in bloodstream?
I am suffering from severe migraines and am trying to figure out why - because me and my neurologist are stumped. While reading up on side effects it says it could be a build up of Lamictal in the blood stream but I wanted to ask here, before bringing up to neurologist in early May.
