Weaning Lamictal - carbohydrate content

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have been investigating the ingredient content of varying strengths of

Lamictal tablets in order to try and solve the problem of my daughter's

increased seizures and possible relationship to weaning Lamictal. I wonder

if I have found something significant here. Below are the figures I have

found:

Lamictal 200mg tablets

123.4 mg lactose

15mg Na starch glycolate

Fat - 2.4mg magnesium stearate

Lamictal 100mg tablets

99mg lactose

10mg Na starch glycolate

Fat - 1.6mg magnesium stearate

Lamical 25mg tablets

24.8 mg lactose

2.5 mg Na starch glycolate

Fat - 0.4mg magnesium stearate

My daughter was on 2 x 200mg tablets per day which means that she was

having daily:

246.8mg lactose

30 mg Na starch glycolate

Fat - 4.8 mg magnesium stearate

Currently she is having 2 x 100mg tablets plus 6 x 25mg tablets which means

that she is having daily:

346mg lactose

35mg Na starch glycolate

Fat - 5.6mg magnesium stearate

I was wondering whether these differences are significant and whether they

could be a factor affecting seizure control. Any input appreciated.

Many thanks

Jill
