A member asked:
I have 1.1ug/ml of lamotrigine for seizures in my blood. my neuro says its within normal levels. but i havent been feeling well and getting breakthroughs. is there something i should ask my neuro to help with the breakthroughs?

The usual therapeutic range runs from 2.5-15 mcg/ml, and yours is clearly subtherapeutic. The goal is to become as seizure-free as possible and not experience episodic seizures. The discussion should be focused on control and medication that is well tolerated and easy compliance.
