Hello,
My psychiatrist has asked me to start taking 25mg of lamictal a day for about 6 weeks and then go back and see him. From what I have read on here 25mg is not a therapeutic dose, so this seems pretty futile to me. Also, it cost my insurance £200 everytime I go and see him, so I imagine the next time I go and see him with the news that it istn't working, he will just put it up another 25mg at another £200. I know I am not paying the bill it just infuriates me that they get paid so much for doing so little. I cannot understand his reasoning for putting me on 25mg for 6 weeks, I know you have to go slowly on this drug, but six weeks on 25mg?.
Can anyone see the point in this?
Denise
