[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 356181, member: 1233"] PLEASE tell your son that lamictal MUST be tapered off. It is an anti-seizure medicine and can NOT be safely stopped cold turkey. He runs a HUGE risk of having a seizure by stopping it cold turkey. Even if he has NEVER had a seizure before he is extremely likely to have one now. His body is accustomed to having the medication and stopping it so abruptly is likely to cause seizures. Our docs (Wiz' when he trialed it, mine when I did, and Jessie's now - 3 different docs) ALL say that even at 100 mgs it must be tapered off. This is very risky. I know he feels much better with-o it, but it really needs to be weaned off. [/QUOTE]
