Hi guys,
I've been taking lamictal for three years and unfortunately had to take it throughout my pregnancy and breastfeeding journey. I'm still breastfeeding (my son is one).
I started tapering three days ago.
I was initially told to go down by 25mgs every 4 weeks by a doctor, but luckily I researched it further. Instead, I've gone down by 6.25mg.
It's not much of a drop, but last night I struggled to sleep and felt dizzy/moody today.
I'm freaking out because I had the rash when I came onto it, so I'm fearing I will get some symptoms.
My question is, how is the best way I can go about weaning myself off completely? Has anyone else gone through this or is anyone else going through it??
Thanks
