• Abstract:

  Aim: Tapering of the antiepileptic drug (AED) dosage is a common clinical approach during video-EEG (VEEG) monitoring. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of carbamazepine (CBZ) or valproic acid (VPA) withdrawal in the lamotrigine (LTG) trough serum levels of those patients receiving LTG combined to CBZ or VPA therapy.
