browri Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hello Everyone, My doctor decided to take me off Lamictal. I felt that together the Trileptal and Lamictal were dumming me down. I was finding myself easily confused and dazed in the mornings and evenings when I would take them together. Yesterday was 150mg down from 200mg. Today is 100mg. Will do 100mg for 3 days. Then 50mg for two days. I'm in a bit of a mood today, and it could be purely psychosomatic, but I wanted to know if anyone else had a similar response when they came off of it. Or am I just losing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have never had a problem coming off Lamictal and my doctor says there shouldn't be a problem, but I have heard of some people suffering a sort of discontinuation syndrome so I don't think you are losing it.

browri Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Alright. It's eased up a bit as the morning has gone on. I'm being more conservative on the titration than my doctor though. He wanted me to go down 50mg per day, and that worried me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browri Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Day 2 of 100mg is better. I don't feel "off" so that's something. We'll see what's next in the game of chess. I really want to move to the extended formulation of Trileptal (Oxtellar XR). Then it's two pills at night instead of 1 pill 3 times a day.
