I had epilepsy and the doctors have me on Dilantin but because of my mood disorder they want me to switch from Dilantin to Lamictal . I've been blessed by not having any grand mal seizures in the last 2 years so I'm afraid come back gain.Has anyone had bad experience or good experience by switching from Dilantin to Lacmital?
