Yes. It is the generic name for Lamictal.
this the lamotrigine and the lamictal the same
can lamotrigine be used for dogs with seizures?
how will doctor switch you from lamictal to lithium
Lamictal (lamotrigine) is not an SSRI. It is an anti-convulsant.

No. Lamictal (and I'm using a quote from healthline.com) "is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant. Lamotrigine (aka Lamictal) is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. Lamotrigine is also used to delay mood episodes in adults with bipolar disorder." Opiates strictly deal with nerves, and are not meant to treat seizures or bipolar disorder.
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.
Yes! My doctor at rehab proscribed me on 50 mg of Lamictal (lamotrigine) and 24 mg of Suboxone.
Lamictal or lamotrigine is used as an anti-convulsant in cases of epilepsy, and also in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Lamictal is the commercial name for the drug Lamotrigine. It is used in the treatment of epilepsy and bi-polar disorder.
Wellbutrin (bupropion), Lamictal (lamotrigine), and Lexapro (escitalopram) are not known for having significant anticholinergic effects. Wellbutrin primarily acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, while Lamictal is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer. Lexapro, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), also has minimal anticholinergic properties. Overall, these medications are generally considered to have low to negligible anticholinergic activity.
No - Lamotrigine (Brand name Lamictal) is in a class of mood stabilizers. It's also used for epilepsy treatment. It has no MAO inhibitor effect. Lamotrigine has been shown to be a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (Ki=15 uM) and MAO-B (Ki = 18 uM). MAO inhibition is possible at doses of 100-200mg/day and this could be a mechanism for the serotonin increases seen with lamotrigine treatment. The binding to the enzyme seems to be very reversible, that is, other MAO substrates can readily displace it. To the best of my knowledge, it lacks any clinically relevant interactions that are normally seen with MAOIs.
