Hi, I am currently taking 100mg briviact twice a day, and 100mg lamotrogine twice a day. Athough greatly improved, I am still experiencing some seizure activity. In addition, the brivact has been causing an unwanted side effect. I have been advised to decrease the brivact to 75mg twice a day, and increase the Lamotrigine to 125mg once a day for two weeks, then 125mg twice a day for two weeks, and then see how I am

I was a bit surprised by this, because as a safety blanket should I not be increasing the Lamotrigine, before decreasing the brivact?

Is this safe?

Advice appreciated!
