My Dr has me on carbatrol, however the carbatrol only controlled my grand mal seizures. He placed me on lamictal a few months ago, slowly increasing as he attempted to decrease my carbatrol. It didn't work at all. My body will not respond to the switch of any other medication except carbatrol. I've been on it for 15 years and even the smallest decrease sent me into seizures. And the scary part for me is they can't decrease, yet I'm pregnant. I'm currently taking 600 mg of carbatrol daily and 450 mg of lamictal and the lamictal has helped wonders with my partial seizures, but does nothing even remotely close to controlling a grand mal for me.
