> > What kind of titration rate did you undertake out of curiosity? Did you get any sort of rash as you ramped up?
I've barely titrated thus far with Lamictal which I'm trialing as monotherapy. 12.5 mg/day for about 10 days, now on 25 mg/day for almost a week. Tomorrow, gonna see the pdoc and probably move to 37.5 mg/day. I want to go real slow because I think I may have shot past my therapeutic dose with topiramate and, oh yeah, I'm weary of the rash. You can follow my trials (and Jah's too) here: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20010319/msgs/56941.html
Best wishes. As I posted in this thread, comin' off of topamax gave me most of the side effects I had in titrating up on the stuff. I liked the med, though. I was sayin' "euthymic." Now, I'm breathin'. I say there is a huge difference, but I think Lamictal has some promise for me (though, I'll say what I said early on with the Topamax: I might need to add something as an adjunct).
