"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them." (suebaby41)

Lamictal and Over-The-Counter medicine

Hey Everyone,

I am taking a trip in a few weeks and can't find any information on Lamictal and Dramamine/Bonine, the anti-nausea medicines. I looked on Crazy Meds and surfed around but didn't have a lot of luck. I also know that Lamictal doesn't mix well with a lot of over-the-counter medicines as well as other prescriptions. Can you give me some "don't take" suggestions as well as "safe to take"? I would sure appreciate it. I won't hold you to it as I know nobody here is a doctor.

HI SophieBoris,

I usually ask the pharmacist or I go to the url below, its drug interaction checker.

SophieBoris Posts: 7 New Member	Thank you. I bookmarked this website so I can use it in the future. It just says alcohol interacts with Dramamine and not the Lamictal. Not a problem since I drink about once every two years. Previous discussions I participated in: Does bipolar just mean pills, im not sick Lamictal, sleep, dosage, etc. What a long strange trip it's been...
