gg, i would not worry about it. my pdoc specializes in women's health and reproductive issues. i specifically told her that i was taking prenatal vitamins and was planning on getting pregnant while taking lamictal and she didn't advise any additional folic acid supplements.
she also advised me that lamictal is relatively safe during pregnancy. (it is still category C, though). since i would like to keep my job (heh), i am going to continue to take lamictal through pregnancy. she specifically mentioned spina bifida risk with klonopin, so that drug was discontinued before conception.
