A member asked:
Can depakote and lamictal be taken together? it sounds like depakote makes lamictal much stronger...

Not unique: But, as you might know, lamotrigine can cause a dangerous rash in some patients, and the risk is somewhat higher if you add this to Depakote. But rather low risk of rash if the Depakote is added to the Lamictal. If both are used together in epilepsy, usually far better efficacy.
