Abstract
Presents the case of a 69-yr-old woman with a 10-yr history of epilepsy and alcohol-induced dementia, whose epilepsy had been well controlled for 2 yrs with valproate 1,000 mg and lamotrigine 100 mg. She was admitted for assessment because of a gradual deterioration in her cognitive state and functional level over a 6-mo period. After discontinuation of lamotrigine, she became more communicative with clear improvement in cognition and a steady gait. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
