Sorry to hear Lamictal isn't working for both of you - you were my Lamictal models! I found a brief, two-day effect at 12.5 mg, then that effect dissipated. However, although I don't feel any dramatic effect at 100 mg, I do find that I am much more easygoing than I used to be. Things that would get me very riled up just don't seem to get to me. I've heard that the brief initial effect is very common, then if fades until you hit 150 to 300 mg and reach a therapeutic dose. I've also heard that this therapeutic dose can take a month to six weeks to kick in. So I'm a long way from giving up on this drug yet - at least six months, since I'm aiming at 250 mg. I'll keep you both posted, and I'll follow both your progress with interest.- Jane
