In reply to Help! LAMICTAL and lightheadedness, anxious?, posted by Janelle on September 15, 2001, at 20:38:28
Was it helping at just 50? I find 25 in the am and 25 in the pm to be helpful, and haven't increased in a month or two. Don't know if that will do the trick for bipolar; I take it for disthymia. How about trying 37.5 for a few days?
> I am titrating up (gradually) on Lamictal, and just today started taking 50 mg in the am and 25 in pm, up from 25 am and 25 pm. Well, a few hours after taking 50 mg in the am, did I ever feel lightheaded and a bit more anxious. Is this a "typical" side effect? Anyone on Lamictal experience this? Will it go away. Pdoc's goal is to get me to at least 100 mg doing 50 in am and 50 in pm, but thankfully I don't add in the next 50 for another week. Any info greatly appreciated.
