fish oil for med withdrawals??

I've heard you can take supplements to help counter act the withdrawals from tapering off medication I'm on take 2 of trying to taper off lamictal I was so sick last time so I'm trying cutting a smaller dose this time. Has anyone actually tried supplements and have they helped? Because I don't care what my doctor says coming off lamictal after being on it for roughly 6 years is awful!!!! I will try anything!

RCG,

I can't confirm that fish oil will be beneficial in weaning from Lamictal specifically...it is a mood stabilizing med...as opposed to the SSRI discontinuation that I have heard it's helpful with.

The brain zaps particularly are what most people are seeking relief from...so if you are experiencing this effect...it may very well be something worth trying!

I hope you get through the rest of your wean with success! Keep posting your progress...and we'll keep you in support!

S.C.

I would say give it a go and see if it helps keep us posted.
