I'm taking 150mg of lamotrigene twice a day and i want to get off of them. i had seizures in 2020 due to abscesses on my frontal and occipital lobes, those are gone now and i can't think of a reason i need to be on it. where do i start weaning off?

This should be handled under the guidance of a neurologist. It is best to consult the neurologist who managed your problem in 2020.

Not so simple or safe. You are taking a huge risk going off without a normal EEG, a normal neurological exam and working closely with your doctor. You should NOT suddenly stop
