In reply to Lamictal Withdrawel - Side Effects, posted by CK1 on May 22, 2007, at 8:43:39
I have tapered down from 450 mg to 300 at 50 mg intervals and plan to taper off completely. The funny thing is that I am feeling better. It wasn't bothering me at the higher dosage; I am just trying to figure out which drugs I don't need. Obviously, everyone is different--I've been comatose from meds that didn't bother most other people--but I've not heard of discontinuation effects from Lamictal. Also, it depends on what other drugs you might be taking. I hope you're feeling better. Not all drugs make you feel bad.
