I am on lamotragine for my epilepsy and i take 2 a day how ever i would like to !

well let me tell you something, my best friends boyfriend has epilepsy and she stupidly persuaded him to cut down on his meds because they make him a bit forgetful and a bit dopey, anyway, one morning, he had a fit at the top of the stairs and fell down them!. he landed in such a way that he wasnt breathing, if she hadnt been there, he would have died!. DONT stop taking anything, you need themWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you want to reduce your meds or stop taking them you have to do it in a controlled manner under the supervision of your Doctor or Neurologist!. Just not taking them is stupid and could lead you into the life threatening status epilepticus where your body has continous seizures - only stopping with medical intervention, or as in my friends case when you are put into a medically drug induced coma!.

Status is not pleasant - avoid it by taking your meds, or reducing them in the appropriate manner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You seem to be suggesting that you already fail to take them on occasion!. This is pretty foolish!. No reliable comment can possibly be made without knowing your full medical history and with a knowledge of all your scans, EEG results etc!.

There is a rule of thumb that says if an epileptic has no fits for a minimum of 2 years drug withdrawal may be discussed!. But there is always a risk even after that length of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
