CLA and Green tea conflictions with Lamotrigine/Lamictal
Mon, 06/28/2010 - 08:05I have epilepsy and have had it for over 15 years, i take lamotrogine and havent had a seizure for over 5 years now, but recently i have started taking CLA and green tea to assist my weight loss along with exercise. Since iv been taking these i have felt strangly dizzy just after i take them.
I have read on another forum that Green tea tablets conflict with epilepsy tablets/treatments. I dont know wether to stop taking both because i have no idea if CLA conflicts also. I will obviously stop taking both until i know. Can someone advise if CLA conflicts as well or had the same experience? Im so worried.

I try to stay off as much sugar as possible (except natural sugars like fruit and honey etc) as i get really bad insomnia when i have it past 1pm in the afternoon. Doctors insist its nothing to do with the food and say im dsepressed. I know its the sugar in food. My doctors seem to just brush it off and i havent had much help from them so far
