Abstract

We report a case of intentional overdose in a 29-year-old male with two of the newer anti-epileptic agents, lamotrigine and pregabalin. To our knowledge, this case report details the highest plasma levels of lamotrigine ever recorded in the literature. The patient presented with seizures and a reduced level of consciousness. Management of these and subsequent complications centres on supportive care in the high dependency and intensive therapy units.
