Does anyone have any information about adverse effects of getting the Corona Virus vaccine, combined with the seize medication lamotrigine. My daughter is taking this medicine and has the opportunity to get the vaccine. Her doctor didn’t have any further information to share with us.
Thank you in advance,
Can you get the Corona Vaccine shot if you take lamotrigine?

Hi, Dlagiul!
This is what I found online:
3 December, 2020 From the Epilepsy Society
"Epilepsy Society’s Medical Director, Professor Ley Sander has reassured people with epilepsy that they should feel confident in having the new Covid-19 vaccine."
However, everything else I found basically said there wasn't enough statistical data to definitely say whether it's safe or not although those articles were dated from the earlier days of the pandemic.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Best regards,
Wildcat
