When it comes to any sort of question around medication, you need to talk to your doctor. Different people will have different results with any epilepsy medication. Lamictal may work well for one person and not so well for another. The dosage is important. It can be taken with other epilepsy medications. There is also the factor of the kind of epilepsy someone has and how they are at present. As you can see there are many factors, so no simple answer to your question, without all those things properly considered. So, as already said, talk to your doctor.

The only advice I can give you is to ask your doctor or your pharmacist. Only they will know what dosage of Lamictal you are taking, and what other medication you are thinking of taking. They are qualified to know what you should do. They can tell you if you can use any other medications and what can be taken with Lamictal.

Is it safe to take vicoden with lamictal?

(I am not a doctor)  I have been taking 300mgs of Lamictal once a day for 10 years due to a seizure disorder and in that time I have been prescribed vicodin for a few dental issues.  I noticed no adverse effects.  It may be only subjective, but I did notice that it wasn't as effective as ibuprofen.  So it is possible that Lamictal may reduce the effectiveness of vicodin.  But as with any drug you are unsure about, always consider what other medications you are currently prescribed.
