Lamictal and Hallucinations?


I upped my dose of lamictal this week, and the next night, i started having weird hallucinations. they haven't happened again, but i was seeing random cartoon characters and people and even people who have passed away. it was scary as h###! my school nurse told me there are only 2 reports of hallucinations with lamictal. i was also sick at the time, and i'm not really sure if it was the sickness, or the meds. has anyone else here experienced this?

Not me, but I'm on a pretty low Lamictal dose. Given the timing, it does seem to point the finger at the Lamictal, especially if there's nothing else you can think of that might be responsible. Write down what's happened and when. If the hallucinations get worse, contact your doctor.
