A member asked:
25mg lamictal since feb. usually have heavy 4-5 day flow but its suddenly shorter and lighter. no birth control for 3yrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short periods: Shorter and lighter periods are not usually indicative of a problem. Most people prefer them. If you would like more cycle control consider starting birth control. IF you are sexually active and on Lamictal the Folic acid supplementation 4 mg daily should be done to prevent neural tube defects during pregnancy
