Hi L2L

Many thanks for your detailed reply - it was good to hear your views and perspective on what for me is a problem with potentially conflicting solutions.

You may be surprised to learn that the conclusion about falls vs szs and their relationship to lamotrigine was from my neurologist who's a specialist epileptologist. Since I made this post I have reached a week on a lowered dosage of lamotrigine at his request (a reduction of 7%) and on Friday started to have an increase in szs - 4 over the w/e. So have reverted to the former dosage!

I'm due to see the GP (general practitioner) later this week so will have a discussion about the next steps and will take the opportunity to talk over various aspects including those which you have raised about the impact of drug combinations.

Many thanks and all the best
