Apparently it's very common with this drug to feel an immediate effect after starting it, which then fades until a therapeutic dose (at least 150 mg) is reached. It's also common for the true therapeutic reaction to take over a month at a therapeutic dose to kick in. I started lamictal several weeks ago, and felt a very encouraging response which quickly faded. Now I'm titrating up to 250 mg, but I'm still only at 75 mg. This drug seems to require more than ordinary amounts of patience, but a lot of people swear by it once the therapeutic effects begin. Good luck -
