Can lamictal cause abnormal eeg results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although Lamictal is used to treat epilepsy, a condition characterized often by abnormal eeg, it does affect the brain's electrical activity. As such it certainly does have the potential to change the eeg, just as does any other anti-epileptic drug/.
