Lamictal- really bad acid reflux

Posted by ace on November 29, 2004, at 20:19:05

I tried Lamictal last night...took 50mg at 8.40pm

all night I was waking up with really bad acid reflux...milk and gaviscon didn't help....my stomach felt at a pH of 1 !!!!

has anyone had this with Lamictal?

could it be avoided by taking it in the morning...

suggestions please!!!

Boy did I ever. My pdoc told me to talk with my GP who gave me Lansoprazole (PrevAcid brand name in Canada).

It really helps but sometimes I still get a bit of heartburn but nothing like it was before.

i always have terrible heartburn/reflux... i never thought that maybe it's worse with lamictal. i take 2-3 pepcid completes a day (sometimes more) when 1 used to do it.

sometimes it helps to sleep propped up, so stuff can't reflux.

good luck. i know how much it hurts. :(
