MDMA Therapy while taking Lamictal
Tue, 12/10/2019 - 23:18I am curious to hear anyone's experience with MDMA (as therapy) while taking lamotrigine. I am currently on 100mg of lamictal for "undiagnosed" partial focal seizures...(episodes of deja vu, felt sense of familiarity, anxiety..). Any thoughts?
