Hello I have a question for anyone tapering off Lamotrigine. I'm on 800mg of Carbamazipine which I'm not tapering off yet. However I am tapering off Lamotrigine and I've got stuck at 50mg. I take 25mg twice a day, I actually take 25mg at 8am and then the other one at 4pm as I've found this way I can function in the day and means that the 4pm 'slump' times nicely with the tiredness that comes on around then until the 4pm dose kicks in at about 5.30pm so I rest at 4pm. -I hope this might be a good piece of advice for some of you that find the end of the day is a right off if your waiting to take your medication at night. My question is has anyone found anything particularly helpful in order to get off Lamotrigine. For example swapping onto a different medication? Or do you find using the liquid or chewable forms of lamotrigine make it easier? My current symptoms are headache, itching, chronic fatigue and aching arms and eyes. It would be particularly useful to hear from people who take both Carbamazepine and Lamotrigine but any advice would be so great. Thank you and we can do this!!
