Hi yea,
I hate to say it but I do totally agree with the caffee been to blame for the dizzyness. I usaully can have 4 cups in the mornings and I get that drunk feeling, and motion sickness. I take lamotrogine 25mg in the morning and 25 mg before bed, Its not much but it controls my sezuries. I gave up red wine last christmas, something I loved dearly, 2 glasses a night lol, but that would give me dizzy and sezuries, not it seems that i have to give up the coffee too, what will i do now for the odd kick in the morning. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you for that mention re dose.
It had me thinking and I believe I have found the cause. In the past I would usually take my first 25mg at about 7am in the morning on getting up. Then I would take the second 25mg at between 10 and 11pm just before going to bed. This meant that for a specific few hours I had more medication in my body then other hours. So
I have set my mobile phone to remind me each evening at 7pm to take my medicine. and wow it works. I sleep so well at night and following weeks and weeks and months and perhaps years haha of not getting a good sleep I no longer feel as dizzy. So I would advise all to take your medicine at the correct intervals every day/night.
Cheers
