In reply to Lamictal- Tapering Off?, posted by argentboo on September 8, 2011, at 3:17:50
I've been on Lamictal at high doses (up to 400 mg/day), and never had any trouble withdrawing with a relatively short taper (1-3 wk?? I'm not sure any more). Probably should taper off at about the same rate as you titrate up on it. I had more trouble initially getting *up* to dose - had an anxiety peak at 100 mg/day, but that eventually subsided.
Mind you, when withdrawing I would have been overlapping that with titrating up on an SSRI or other A/D.
