I am currently taking 600mg lamotrigine. The dose was increased about 2 months ago. Additionally, I am taking pregabalin, which has also recently increased from 600mg to 300mg daily.
I feel dizzy all the time after taking lamotrigine.
My question now is, isn't the lamotrigine a bit high dose? I weigh just under 60kg and have only had problems since the increase.

The dosage of lamotrigine and pregabalin preparations is determined by the attending physician, m.in. on the basis of the patient's clinical condition.
If you feel unwell after increasing the dose of medication, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Common side effects of lamotrigine medications include, m.in, dizziness. I encourage you to report any side effects. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
