A member asked:
How long does it take for lamotrigine to start working for epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One month: Any seizure medication takes a few weeks to have effect. During this time side effects may develop. After about one month there can be a fair judgement whether benefit is more than side effects. Best dosage may take several months.
