We could use more information as why you are taking Lamictal. It could be for manic depression (in that case i don't suggest you stop it) or it could be for epilepsy (in that case I don't suggest you stop it). If you haven't being diagnosed bi-polar and using this simply as a mood stabilizer then yeah I guess you can taper off it slowly but may I ask you too about the side-effects you were gettin while on you full dose? Is it worth enduring a life without the med itself?

Sorry. I was prescribed the meds for postpartum depression. I've been taking them and tapering for 3 years. I've never felt "happy" even with all these meds. I dont like the thought of taking meds for the rest of my life if I really dont need them. Before having my daughter I would experience depression at times, I'd say situational depression really, but nothing that I thought of taking medication for.
Sorry to say that but I would change doctor if I were you. I wish you good luck with quiting this meds and if you need any information on alternatives that can help you cope with the tapering safely just PM me.

Try a site called Crazy Meds. They discuss this med. It doesn't sound like you really need meds, it sounds like you needed hormone balancing and therapy. But that's just me.
