Hello,
Taper over a period of at least 6 months and under the supervision of your clinician. Lamictal (Lamotrigine) is a drug that is approved for the treatment of epilepsy.
Tapering should be done gradually In order to reduce severe withdrawal symptoms. It is important to recognize that how quickly you recover from its withdrawal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
