seizure prevention
"I've been on lamictal  for 1 year for seizure prevention/mood swings. I gained weight, have a dry mouth and insomnia.  I told my neurologist I wanted to come off seizure meds as I haven't had a seizure for 5 yrs, he said No because the next seizure I have may  be fatal! Great bedside manner! Now I have live with side effects as I'm scared to come off lamictal."
