A member asked:
Will tegretol reduce the lamictal level by about 50%.....for example would 100mg of lamictal really be approx.. 50 mg with 600 tegretol?

Not really: If you are talking about using the meds to control seizures, no. Cannot compare these meds on a basis of one being equal to or replacing x percent of another med. It is best to discuss with your neurologist re: adjusting doses of meds to control seizures. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr R
