Well there are two reasons for taking Lamictal is for convulsions and seizures and the other for Bipolar disorder. Definitely should not stop taking abruptly if you have any of these conditions, but if there is something life threatening like the Rash or allergic reaction or something in those regards it is prudent to stop taking it immediately but it should usually be tapered off. Yes there is a withdrawal in some people which is a side effect of stopping abruptly.1 dizziness 2 lethargy 3 swelling on different parts of the body 4 depression 5 moodiness. hope this helps
