When the doctor put me on Lamotrigine he advised me to call him right away and stop the medication. I tried calling him on Friday but wasn't in the office.

I was on Lamotrigine for a while but it didn't do much for me. I did not have any itches or welts because of it, but I didn't have fewer seizures either.

I have taken it for years with no issues.
I was one of the Ginny people that they first tried it on ,I haven’t had any issues for years . but each person has different reactions ,it might be because it’s a generic to lamictal
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I haven't had any issues with other medications I'm taking. I asked the neurologist if there was any bad interactions with other medications, he said there wasn't. So I'm sure it was from the Lamotrigine.
Thankfully the welts have gone down and the itching has stopped. I'm just disappointed that this happened because it helped calm me from the Keppra. Hopefully we'll find something else to go with the Keppra to control the abnormalities he's seeing on the EEG.
I haven't had any seizures for a long time because of the Keppra, but sometimes I have bouts of confusion. The neurologist is trying to be proactive to prevent any type of seizures in the future.
