Is It Safe To Take Midol Along With Lamictal And Wellbutrin For Bipolar Disorder?

Hello, I recently started taking lamictal in addition to my wellbutrin to treat bipolar disorder. I'm currently taking 25 mg of wellbutrin and 75mg of lamictal (i've been working my way up and starting tuesday it will be 100mg a day). I took Midol about 3 hours ago without really thinking about mixing medications. I read some places it's not harmful to mix but then i read other places it can cause liver and kidney damage. Currently I'm having severe cramps and I'm a little dizzy. I can't tell if it's because the midol is wearing off or if it is because of the midol. The symptoms only started recently.

Greetings !

Welcome to the site.

Well as such midol does not lead to any serious harmful interactions with either lamictal or wellbutrin but if you have started getting cramps and dizzy spells then i believe it is because you did not tolerate the drug midol well enough these ( unlikely due to harmful interaction between these drugs), so better will be to report this to your primary doctor who shall want someone to watch over your symptoms for next 12 hours to see if the cramps and dizziness worsen. These symptoms are generally wane off slowly as time passes by so wait and watch for both severity and frequency of sympyoms.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
