I understand that.
My dr. wants to switch me from the generic to brand name and down to 3/day to combat the insomia. I just don't see how 3/day instead of 4/day will stop seizures more...

So I titrated slowly to 400 mg/day of Lamictal and have been on it roughly a month. I've had 2 breakthrough tonic clonic seizures in the last 10 days. This seems awkward to me and is frustrating since the doctor made this out to be the light at the end of the tunnel med. I feel like I should try a different med but I'm going to call my doctor tomm.
