I have been on Lamictal/Lamotrigene for about 3 years at a relatively high dose - 200 mg/3x daily. I used to have, not perfect, but more often than not, protection from grand mal seizures. Lately, this is not the case. I am under a HUGE amount of stress. But I have had 2 grand mal seizures in as many weeks, preceded by rolling partial seizures. Is it just because I am under a stress that is not really one I have previously experienced, at least in my mind? Or have others noticed that Lamictal, like some other AEDs, has a decreasing efficacy over time?
Either way it is hard to concentrate for a good 24 hours afterwards, which is something that I cannot really afford.
