How to taper off 50mg lamictal?

Hi,

  I have to taper off 50mg lamictal. Does anyone know the fastest, but still safe way to do this? Its a low dosage.

Thanks, going to talk to Dr. but wanted some other opinions.

Tapering off just means to reduce slowly. The only lower dose of Lamictal is 25mg. When you started Lamictal I am sure you were on 25mg for one or two weeks and then moved to 50mg for one or two weeks and would have increased again... Tapering is opposite of the increase procedure.
