My doctor told me when i am premenopausal lamictal dosage needs to be decreased. I asked why and he said the body needs less lamitcal in menopause or premenopause. I then asked what happens to the brain or body if you dont reduce the lamictal in premonopause. He said it does nothing. That is not an answer as far as i am concerned. Anyone have a better answer?

Interesting. Hadn't heard that and it would be good to know I do know the original manufacturer says that anything above the highest recommended dose has no therapeutic value. That's probably what he means. I think taking more than what is therapeutic simply adds more side effects and more risk of memory loss. Maybe that is his thought process. I'd like to come off it if I can in the next two years.

I'm guessing that Michanne is correct. I do think you should ask your doc to clarify, though. I so wish doctors would be more clear more often.
