Is It Advisable To Stop Lamotrigine Cold Turkey?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic This medication is normally tapered off over a time period, it is not stopped suddenly. This should be done along with your doctor so that the 2 of you can monitor for any withdrawal effects. This can include anxiety, return of symptoms, dizziness, headache, irritability, fatigue, nausea. Your doctor can suggest an alternative that may help you. I hope this helps
