Prescription, Pharmacy & Cancer Drugs » Prescription Drugs 9 » LAMITOR Lamictal Lamotrigine is used to treat certain types of seizures in patients who have epilepsy or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a disorder that causes seizures and often causes developmental delays). Lamotrigine is also used to increase the time between episodes of depression mania (frenzied or abnormally excited mood) and other abnormal moods in patients with bipolar I disorder (manic-depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression episodes of mania and other abnormal moods). Lamotrigine has not been shown to be effective when people experience the actual episodes of depression or mania so other medications must be used to help people recover from these episodes. Lamotrigine is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.Lamotrigine comes as a regular tablet and a chewable dispersible (can be chewed or dissolved in liquid) tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day. It is sometimes taken once every other day at the beginning of treatment. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.There are other medications that have names similar to the brand name for lamotrigine. You should be sure that you receive lamotrigine and not one of the similar medications each time you fill your prescription. Be sure that the prescription your doctor gives you is clear and easy to read. Talk to your pharmacist to be sure that you are given lamotrigine. After you receive your medication compare the tablets to the pictures in the manufacturer's patient information sheet. If you think you were given the wrong medication talk to your pharmacist. Do not take any medication unless you are certain it is the medication that your doctor prescribed.Swallow the regular tablets whole; do not split chew or crush them.If you are taking the chewable dispersible tablets you may swallow them whole chew them or dissolve them in liquid. If you chew the tablets drink a small amount of water or diluted fruit juice afterward to wash down the medication. To dissolve the tablets in liquid place 1 teaspoon of water or diluted fruit juice in a glass or on a spoon. Place the tablet in the liquid and wait 1 minute to allow it to dissolve. Then mix the liquid and drink all of it immediately.If you were taking another medication to treat seizures and are switching to lamotrigine your doctor will gradually decrease your dose of the other medication and gradually increase your dose of lamotrigine. Follow these directions carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about how much of each medication you should take.Lamotrigine may control your condition but it will not cure it. Continue to take lamotrigine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking lamotrigine without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually. If you suddenly stop taking lamotrigine you may experience seizures. If you do stop taking lamotrigine for any reason do not start taking it again without talking to your doctor.
