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 Mark,
That's really great! I hope it continues to work! The dialantin didn't work for Shawn either. I don't even remember why. It was too long ago. He is being eased onto the lamictal right now and as of 2 days ago he is completly off the Trilepital. I am praying that it works. All of your posts are so encouraging. Thank you!

Hi Joa, So far shawn has had no side effects too. He was on keppra and it did nothing for him. He had seizures anyway the whole time he was on it. I am praying that this works. It is so discouraging. I hope you keep doing well!

Hi, I hope this helps...I was on 400mg/day of dialantin. It was making me highly irritable, and causing big time short memory loss among a few other unpleasant side effects. I was eased on to lamictal over a year ago. I've had no seizures, and the few side effects have been alot easier to cope with. Best of luck!
