A member asked:
Can lamictal induce/worsen seizures rather than suppress them? been on it for ten days and today had my first big episode. previously just nocturnal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It can take time to get to a sufficient dose of Lamictal as it is usually slowly increased to reduce the risk of rash. Please see your neurologist for evaluation if symptoms persists.
