Many typical antiepileptic drugs, like carbamazepine or lamotrigine, slow the recovery from inactivation and hence reduce the ability of neurons to fire action potentials. As inactivation only occurs in neurons firing action potentials, this means that drug that modulate fast inactivation selectively reduce the firing in active cells.

I also wanted to make sure you know that Lamotrigine is a generic of Lamictal.

I read your reply regarding lamictal; however, I do not understand your answer. Is it possible to give a simple yes or no if it is safe to take with depression related meds?

Why are you taking these medications? Is it prevent seizures, or to treat a mental health condition? Posting back with details on the condition being treated would make it much easier to provide you with more information. Thank you!

The FDA warns that they may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes.
