Concerns about medication side effects

alright so 2 years ago my doctor kept prescribing me more and more lamictal (I forgot how much). Shortly after she upped my dosage again I started having what me and my mom thought were seizures. I kept falling down and felt like I was shaking even though I actually wasn't. After I fell down in the shower once we made an emergency visit. My physician told us I was just dizzy but we swore it wasn't just that. I was bed bound for almost a week and had to get my mom to help walk me to and from the bathroom. After the visit she lowered the dosage on my lamictal and prescribed me with Depakote as well, ever since all of this ive had hand tremors; sometime they get really bad. I wanted opinions about this so me and my mom dont seem crazy for thinking all this.

Lamictal. I've had problems when I was increased to 300mg. Way way too dizzy. The 150mg seems to be what I can do just fine with.

What dose of Lamictal are you on? Have you checked the interactions between Lamictal and depakote?
