Question: You asked me to let you know in 48hrs how things are going with my stomach. I took your advice and have started with lamotrigine,obviously its too soon to have healed,still experiencing adomin pain and nausea but its not as bad and I have stopped drinking the ginger.Just hope it stops before christmas..
Brief Answer:
Lamotrigine is an anti epileptic
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
I have read your previous queries. Lamotrigine is an anti epileptic medication and has no pharmacology related to treating GERD/Dyspepsia or Gastritis.
I would empirically recommend a two week course of a course of A PPI like Esomeprazole or pantoprazole and a pro kinetic like itopride to see for improvement, The combination involving ginger and honey should be avoided till then. You may use an anti spasmodic like Hyoscine butylbromide to relieve any pain for the time being.
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
thanks

Sorry,I put in the wrong tablet I've started taking,I'm on lamitrigine already for epilepsy. The tablet the Dr recommended was omeprozole and its those I'm taking,how long would you suggest I take them for?
Brief Answer:
You could take it
Detailed Answer:
hello again.
If its a one off episode then you may take it for 5 days 20 mg twice a day or 40 mg once.
If its a recurrent problem then you should take it for two weeks at least.
