Can the initiation of tapering Zoloft which I was taking concurrently with Lamictal lead to the reoccurrence of Lamictal withdrawal symptoms? I had been off Lamictal for 25 days (only took 25 mg during 19 days) when I began tapering Zoloft, 5 days ago. 
 

I am tapering Zoloft only by 1%, 57,5 mg to 57 mg and I am experiencing loads of withdrawal symptoms, it doesn't seem logical from such a low reduction of Zoloft

Zoloft 1999-2003 50 mg

Zoloft 2003-2015 25 mg 

Brake from Zoloft 1,5 years 

Re-started Zoloft 2017-2023 50 mg 

Zoloft increased to 60 mg

Tapered Zoloft 57,5 mg Sept 23 stayed on this dose

Lamotrigine 25 mg for 19 days off 12/12 -23

Started tapering Zoloft 57,5 mg reducing 1% to 57 mg 5 Jan -2024
