Medicine Effects

I have no side effects with the medicine like what have been mentioned on the internet for the time that I have been taking. But lately I have been getting headaches a lot.

Some other questions to consider besides noting that headaches are a listed side effect and calling your doctor is always a good idea.. How long have you been at the full dose or are you still increasing? Have you taken any other medicines/food that could have caused an interaction or have headaches as a side effect (as along those lines, did your routine change, are you drinking enough water, etc)? Do you have any liver/kidney/heart issues? Did your medicine manufacturer change at all (are you on Lamictal the brand or taking a generic)?
