BACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening spectra of mucocutaneous delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Prodromal viral-like symptoms are followed by a characteristic diffuse rash caused by keratinocyte apoptosis and epidermal detachment. CASES: Three adolescents were admitted with SJS/TEN and vulvovaginal involvement following initiation of lamictal, bactrim, and phenobarbital. The patients received intravenous immunoglobulin and intravenous steroids...

Background: A 38-year-old, female with a history of GAD, MDD, AN, and PTSD wanted to taper her multiple medications in preparation for pregnancy. Benzodiazepine medications, such as Klonopin and Restoril; antidepressants, such as Effexor; and anticonvulsant medications, such as Lamictal, can be habit-forming, and withdrawal symptoms can occur upon discontinuation of use. Polypharmacy can be implicated in poor clinical outcomes, and a strategic and supported medication taper may improve those outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of lamotrigine versus placebo in 10- to 17-year-olds with bipolar I disorder (BP-I) who were receiving conventional bipolar disorder treatment. METHOD: In this randomized withdrawal trial, patients with BP-I of at least moderate severity received lamotrigine during an ≤18-week open-label phase. Patients who maintained a stable lamotrigine dose for ≥2 weeks and Clinical Global Impression-Bipolar Severity of Illness (CGI-BP[S]) score of ≤3 for ≥6 consecutive weeks were randomized to double-blind lamotrigine or placebo for ≤36 weeks...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of add-on lamotrigine and placebo in the treatment of children and adolescents with partial seizures. BACKGROUND: Add-on and monotherapy lamotrigine is safe and effective in adults with partial seizures, and reports of preliminary uncontrolled trials suggest similar benefits in children. METHODS: We studied 201 children with diagnoses of partial seizures of any subtype currently receiving stable conventional regimens of antiepileptic therapy at 40 study sites in the United States and France...

A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is reported of lamotrigine as add-on treatment in therapy-resistant epilepsy. A within-patients serial design was used, with two 3-month treatment periods and an intervening 6-week washout/crossover period. An unblinded investigator adjusted lamotrigine dosage to achieve a plasma concentration within a previously predicted therapeutic range. All patients had therapy-resistant partial seizures, some in combination with other seizure types and were without serious neurological or intellectual deficit...
