SIGNS OF LAMICTAL DEPENDENCY
Lamictal is an anticonvulsant medication that was originally used to treat epilepsy, then expanded for the treatment of mood disorders, bipolar, anxiety and pain. Lamictal is believed to slow down some of the hyperactive electrical impulses and nerve firings in the brain. As your body adapts to Lamictal mood swings can occur, or behavior that is out of character. This is the adaptation of the drug on the nervous system. Both physical and psychological symptoms can begin when Lamictal dependency occurs, including headaches, nightmares, brain zaps, emotional changes, depression, anxiety, and interruptions in sleep patterns. [3] Knowing how to control Lamictal Withdrawal symptoms is critical for success, but combined with an approach to provide relief and assist in the recovery has provided the best chance of success.

WHAT IS LAMICTAL WITHDRAWAL LIKE?
Lamictal withdrawal can begin after reducing one dose or after abruptly stopping. Rapidly withdrawing from Lamictal is not recommended due to the seizure risk. [4] [5] Symptoms can include depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, lack of energy, muscle aches, twitching and many others. A gentle, gradual taper is critical to weaning off Lamictal and to minimize the Lamictal withdrawal symptoms. [6] [7] ]8] Yet many that titrate Lamictal slowly are still plagued with debilitating symptoms and need relief. Its this subset of people that we can help with our proven, at-home program. Our specialized nutraceuticals can help provide relief, making your Lamictal withdrawal process more comfortable.*

LAMICTAL WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE
Lamictal clears the body about 14 days after the last dose, but Lamictal Withdrawal symptoms can intensify as the drug exits. Do not stop Lamictal abruptly due to the seizure risk, it must be tapered slowly over months if possible. Many factors contribute to Lamictal withdrawal, including the length of time on Lamictal; your metabolic rate for medications; age; health challenges; interactions with other medications and body mass. [9] When weaning off Lamictal it is important to titrate down slowly, giving your body ample time to adjust to lessening doses. Lamictal withdrawal symptoms may pass quickly for some while others may struggle with anxiety, anger, balance issues and cognitive deficits. [10] For those that encounter the severe lamictal withdrawal symptoms, implementing our program may provide the relief you need. Don't lose heart, contact our nonprofit today.*

by Shanna (USA)PROVEN RESULTS
Lamictal is an anti-epileptic drug in the phenyltriazine classification and is often used for Mood disorders or for pain management. Lamictal is thought to decrease the intensity of electrical activity in the brain by decreasing the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.. [6] Lamictal has a half-life (time it takes to be eliminated from the body) of 22-37 hours and is often used as a treatment for benzodiazepine dependence. However, Lamictal must also be tapered very slowly, over months or severe Lamictal withdrawals can occur.* [10]

LAMICTAL TECHNICAL DATA AND REFERENCES
According to the FDA regarding Lamictal / Lamotrigine Withdrawal:
Discontinuation Strategy in Bipolar Disorder: As with other AEDs, LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine should not be abruptly discontinued. In the controlled clinical trials, there was no increase in the incidence, type, or severity of adverse experiences following abrupt termination of LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine. In clinical trials in patients with bipolar disorder, 2 patients experienced seizures shortly after abrupt withdrawal of LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine. However, there were confounding factors that may have contributed to the occurrence of seizures in these bipolar patients. Discontinuation of LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine should involve a step-wise reduction of dose over at least 2 weeks (approximately 50% per week) unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal.*
Withdrawal Seizures: As with other AEDs, LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine should not be abruptly discontinued.
Withdrawal Seizures: As with other AEDs, LAMICTAL / Lamotrigine should not be abruptly discontinued.
In patients with epilepsy there is a possibility of increasing seizure frequency. In clinical trials in patients with Bipolar Disorder, 2 patients experienced seizures shortly after abrupt withdrawal of LAMICTAL. However, there were confounding factors that may have contributed to the occurrence of seizures in these bipolar patients. Unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal, the dose of LAMICTAL should be tapered over a period of at least 2 weeks (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).*
