A member asked:
Lamotrigine 2x day for seizures. taking it at 12pm and 12am. traveling to europe and will be 6 hours ahead in time. do you recommend sticking to us time taking my medication at 6am/6pm or is there a way to move my schedule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The lamotrigine should be taken twice daily, that is, roughly every 12 hrs., and there is no real need to severely modify this approach, regardless of the time zone. Shifting about 1-2 hrs. per dose should be fine, if necessary, but would basically stick to your usual schedule and not miss your doses.
