Do not take two doses at the same time.

Making the Choice

The decision to use LAMICTAL ODT is one that your healthcare provider and you should make together.

The dose of LAMICTAL ODT must be increased slowly. It may take several weeks or months before your healthcare provider determines the best maintenance dose for you. Your healthcare provider may start you on LAMICTAL ODT whether or not you are currently having a mood episode.

Remember, LAMICTAL ODT is used to help lengthen the time between mood episodes, not to treat episodes that are already happening. Carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how much LAMICTAL ODT to take and when to take it.
