Coming off Lamotrigine: Concerns and Questions

Taper down, try low dose abilify, its helped me so much with no side effects

I was on 100mg as well and stopped cold turkey without any withdrawals. My mind felt much clearer, my memory improved, and my sex drive was back to normal in like a week. I didn’t have weight change while on it though so I can’t speak to if that will change. However, I did gain a ton of weight on lexapro and lost it pretty quickly after I stopped taking it. Not sure if there’s any similarities

I am not sure as to what could happen once you stop. I would taper down slowly tho. I took it last year as a mood stabilizer and the symptoms outweighed the benefits for me as well. I didn't notice my mood improving but it increased my heart rate to high 90s into the 130s most of the time at rest or minimal activity and some chest pain so it wasn't for me. My Dr told me I could just stop taking it cold turkey, so I did. I was on it for about a month or a bit longer but yeah. I didn't withdrawal that I noticed. I would talk to your Dr about your concerns tho
