Hi,
Lamictal can be associated with back pain in some persons.
If possible, he should contact his neurologist or family doctor about the back pain before stopping it. If this cannot be achieved, then he should seek medical attention otherwise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
