Phentermine is actually contraindicated with any type of brain disorder, or injury. Therefore, if you suffer from a disorder that causes seizures, it is probably not advisable that you take it.

Have you discussed it with your doctor?

If this is a 2-part question ('Can I take Lamictal and Topamax for seizures....), the answer is most certainly YES. I was on the same dual regimen for several years, with excellent seizure control. My Neuro d/c'd the Lamictal, as she was very "rash-hypervigilant". Terrified of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. I developed a rash (bilateral lower legs, not consistent w SJS) and she took me off the Lamictal. The beginning of the end as far as drug effects are concerned, I'm afraid.
Question 2: A resounding NO to the use of Phenteramine. An absolute contraindication to those with seizures.
