In reply to running out of lamictal--how to taper off?, posted by smokeymadison on April 6, 2005, at 13:58:23
> I am going to run out of lamictal here in a couple of days. I am currently on 100 mg and need to know how to taper off. what are withdrawal effects for this med? would it be all right to take 50 for a few days and then 25 for a few days or should i take 50 every other day for a week and then 25 for a few days and then every other day for a few days?

im in the process of tapering off from 100mg twice a day. ive been dropping it by 50mg every 4 days (am down to 50mg once a day) and have had no side effects.
