* Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite.
* Lamoptrigine is principally metabolised by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
* This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. However, this combination will also have additive side effects. Dose adaptation will be recommended for this combination.

* A case report suggests that lamotrigine may increase the plasma concentrations of risperidone. <ref> {{Pubmed|15800164|Bienentreu at al, Increase in risperidone plasma level with lamotrigine. Am J Psychiatry. 2005 Apr;162(4):811-2}}</ref>

Pharmacologic response and serum risperidone levels should be monitored more closely whenever lamotrigine is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the risperidone dosage adjusted as necessary.
