Bloating with Lamotrigine
Wed, 06/21/2017 - 20:29Topic: Medication Issues
Hello fellow epileptics! I really need info on this. I've been taking Lamotrigine for about 4 years. I have horrible memory, clumsiness, etc. Two years ago I started having insane bloating. Three GI specialists later with treatment regimens that have gotten nowhere, I'm still walking around every day all day looking about 6 months pregnant. I've exhausted every avenue to no avail. Today I stumbled upon bloating as an effect of long term use. Has anyone else experienced this?? I've had extensive GI testing, made all sorts of dietary changes, probiotics etc. Guess I'm praying for a hail Mary. Thank you for taking time to read. God bless.
