[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 72119, member: 1498"] Lamictal is approved for use by children over the age of 2 for the treatment of seizure disorders. It has always been approved for use of one very serious type of seizure and once it was realized the risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome wasn't as severe as first thought, it was approved for other types of seizures including the very common partial seizures. That means it has been tested on children and the side effect profile has been determined. I was going to say that it is it is not currently approved for the treatment of bipolar disorder in adults but not in children but however in double checking the prescribing information (rewritten in May, 2007) they no longer state "adult" but "patient" in the bipolar section and now list adverse reactions seen in adults and children being treated for bipolar. The dosage table for children in the epilepsy section is referenced in the bipolar dosage section. [/QUOTE]
