Even if there are no signs of discomfort, seek immediate medical attention of a doctor or nearby hospital.

However, it is advisable that you inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant or are planning to get pregnant while taking Lamictal. In case therapy with Lamictal is considered during pregnancy, your doctor may prescribe the lowest effective dose.
