Hi i am taking lamotragine for epilepsy. is it ok to try an aloe vera detox programme called clean9. to help lose weight.

I would avoid: Epilepsy is a serious condition and you do not want to mess with your medication levels. Rather than a "detox" (which research shows they don't actually work), just eat a healthy diet every day and get 30 min of moderate level exercise at least 5 days a week. Take your medicine as prescribed and see your doctor on schedule. That what i would tell me sister to do - and i adore my sister!
