Lamotrigine

Hi around 6 weeks ago my neurologist prescribed me lamotrigine tablets to combat what he thought was 'silent migraine with aura.' I had been experiencing light headedness and vision problems which were originally thought to be a long-term side effect of Amiodarone, a heart med. (I have managed to survive two out of hospital cardiac arrests and now regularly buy a lottery ticket!)I'm still in the process of increasing the dosage but have pretty much the same symptoms as I presented with, but confused as to whether the Lamotrigine is working and this is a side affect (if so, does it ever go away), or is it simply not working and these are still my original symptoms??

Sorry, bit of a ramble *I've not been well🙃)

Any input would be appreciated 👍
