My husband takes 150 mg of Lamictal two times daily for seizures. A couple of days ago he accidentally took an extra dose (150 mg tablet). In the past he was told that he couldn t just cut back suddenly. My question is whether he needs to ween back down or if he should just go back to his regular dose?
