I had to reduce my lamictal a few months ago and for me it was rough. I recommend tapering off really slowly if you're going to get off it.

I took Topamax for migraines. After a while I didn't seem to need it anymore. The neurologist said that could happen. However, not long after that I went on Lamictal. Because they are both anti-epileptics they control migraines. We'll see what happens with migraines when I'm off the Lamictal.
The problem with Topamax is that they don't call it Dopamax for nothing. It made me as dumb as a box of rocks... a Pop Tart (fruit filling for brains). I fumbled for words; I still do, which may be its after effects or the Lamictal. I'd stare off into space, couldn't make a $5 decision for 5 cents.
