A member asked:
After abnormal eeg (spikes&slowing) i was prescribed lamictal but didn't receive a diagnosis of anything. does the script seem premature? is it ok to take?

Seizures?: An abnormal eeg suggests seizures. I see that you had an MRI of the brain which can help find any other potential cause. If you have a question about the treatment you should call the doctor to ask. Lamictal is an appropriate treatment for seizures.
