Lamictal (Lamotrigine) is an anti-epileptic medication. It is also called an anticonvulsant. This medication is used alone or in combination with other medications to manage seizures associated with epilepsy when other medications have been ineffective or have been stopped. Lamictal is a type of mood stabilizer for depression in bipolar disorder but is not as helpful for mania. It is also used to delay mood episodes in adults and children. The mechanism of action for Lamotrigine is not clear, it likely works by decreasing the chemicals in the brain that are believed to contribute to seizures. Other seizure and epilepsy medications include: Keppra, Trileptal, and Topamax
In a study (Lamictal (Lamotrigine) Monotherapy for Typical Absence Seizures in Children, 1999), LM Frank, T Enlow, GL Holmes, P Manasco…found that “LTG monotherapy is effective for typical absence seizures in children and is generally well tolerated.”
