Is it safe to incorporate cbd oil with his treatment?\"</p>\n<hr>\n<p> <em>Always check with your doctor</em> BUT yes CBD would be beneficial to take as a supplement to your son's lamictal prescription. I highly recommend looking into products like Evie’s Drops from CBD Alive or Jayden Juice CBD Tincture.  </p>\n<p>stonedmermaid</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Hi there! I am not a doctor and don't have experience with this, so please do not take this as medical advice. I would encourage you to take a look at this article: <a href=\"https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/blog/2016/03/02/guest-post-a-fathers-perspective-personal-experience-clinical-studies-show-high-cbd-cannabis-provides-mood-stabilization-for-bipolarschizophrenia\">https://unitedpatientsgroup.com/blog/2016/03/02/guest-post-a-fathers-perspective-personal-experience-clinical-studies-show-high-cbd-cannabis-provides-mood-stabilization-for-bipolarschizophrenia</a></p>\n<p>It sounds similar to  your situation, and I would read the comments below the article as well. A lof of people have chimed in on this, and for many of them, their children were taking Lamictal when they introduced them to CBD.</p>\n<p>Hopefully one of our doctors will have a chance to give you some advice as well. In the meantime, I hope this information is helpful!</p>\n<p>melissa</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Often parents do use CBD to supplement and/or wean off of traditional antiepileptics.  However, dosing of the CBD can be tricky, and there are known medication interactions between CBD and AEDs, so this is definitely a journey you need to undertake with the full cooperation of your neurologist.  I hope it works out well for you.</p>\n<p>drbultman</p>","timeToRead":1}},"defaultImage":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5,"src":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/decd9/question-default-image.jpg 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/15aed/question-default-image.jpg 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/701ee/question-default-image.jpg 800w","srcWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/e8bcc/question-default-image.webp 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/4fec1/question-default-image.webp 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/2ad7f/question-default-image.webp 800w","sizes":"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"}}}},"pageContext":{"id":9104,"slug":"is-it-safe-to-take-cbd-oil-with-lamictal-for-absence-seizures","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
