Can Lamictal Be Taken While On Abilify And Klonopin?
My sister, who is already on several psychotic mood drugs was just prescribed Lamictal ? by her shrink. She is 70 years old and I am worried. Is this a dangerous drug. She has been on Abilify, Klonopin, most all of them. I think it is anti anxiety? What do you think. Thank you Maureen (older sister)
