Does anyone have info about lamictal
Wed, 05/25/2005 - 10:461200 mg NEURONTIN 3x daily and 600 mg TRILEPTAL 1x daily & 900 mg 1x daily. He had no seizures for 7 months. Thats a really long record for him. We thought we found the right mix our meds. Then he started having liver problems, so now they are weaning him off only the TRILEPTAL and starting him on the LAMICTAL. I wondered if anyone one else had this problem? Anyone having success on LAMICTAL? Thanks for any help!

Hi Amanda,
Wow that's great! I hope it stays that way. from what I'm reading I guess lamictal must be one of the good drugs. My son says some of the side effects are better than the seizures. Thanks,
Penny

Penny,
Take a look at this introduction website about tegretol. www.epilepsy.com/medications/b_tegretol_intro.html. It also has more detail webpages listed in the menu located along the right side of the intro page.
Hope this helps.

Hi! I'm 22 and have been on lamictal since March 2002. Fortunely, I have been seizure free! However, they're some side effects such as fatigue and nervousness. I'm taking 200 mg a day. Good Luck!
