How much does lamotrigine lamictal deplete folate Are there any studies measuring folate levels while taking lamotrigine?
I read on a website called "psychobabble" that between 1.4 and 5.4 mg of folate (in the form of l-methylfolate, or metafolin) are recommended to combat both Lamictal's depletion of folate, and the memory/cognitive loss Lamictal sometimes causes. Another site said 1mg folate per 100mg Lamictal.

How does lamictal work for seizure control?
it is not exactly clear how it works, but it treats epilepsy (seizures). However, studies suggest that the drug may work by affecting sodium channels in the brain, thus, preventing the unnatural activity from spreading to other areas. This action helps control seizures. Exactly how Lamictal works to treat bipolar disorder is also unclear. Clinical studies have shown that people taking the drug went longer without having an episode of mania or depression, compared to those not taking it.
Can lamictal cause false positive screening for opiates?
Can Lamictal or depakote cause false positive screening for opiates? I am not sure about it testing positive for opiates; however, Lamictal will show a positive reading on a PCP test. Until recently it was believed to be otherwise. I will provide the documented information and studies in a follow-up post.

Are the side effects of starting a 3 yr old on Lamictal too high?
Only you and your child's pediatrician can decide that. However, Lamictal does have a particularly dangerous,but *rare* side effect of a sever and sometimes fatal rash. In studies, 6 children out of 952 developed the rash, just to give you an idea of the chances of this happening. Discuss this side effect with the pediatrician who prescribed the medication. Good luck.
