Reply to comment by luttman23 in In England, the proportion of children and adolescents prescribed antipsychotics doubled from 0.06% to 0.11% between 2000 and 2019 — study suggests antipsychotics are prescribed for an increasingly broad range of reasons, the most common being autism by marketrent

Lamictal is name brand lamotrigine. That’s a lot! My doctor was nervous upping my dose to 200mg.

Other Anti-seizure meds are used for anxiety and adhd as well. It’s fascinating really.

Oops sorry, I meant 3000mg of Levetiracetam (keppra) - they have daft names, it's easy for me to get them mixed up. It's also interesting to me that much like anesthesia, it's known that it works, but not quite how.
