A member asked:
If 50 mg of lamictal is stopped cold turkey after 5 years could you possibly get residual headaches still a few months later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too long for wd: No, after a few months, you should not have withdrawal effects. Even if you used the medicine for 5 years. There may be another cause of your headaches.
