A 30-year-old woman has well-controlled seizures for 3 years on lamotrigine monotherapy at 300 mg daily (150 mg twice per day) with trough blood concentrations in the 4–6 mcg/ml range. There were no differences between children and adults, and between generalized and localization-related epilepsies. The implications for having plasma levels this low is unknown. We did not find any patient in remission with levels higher than 8.
