Don't know if anyone responded to your Lamictal comment, but sometimes it is necessary to push the dose up pretty high. I tried it once and we went to 400mg then quit. After I quit my doctor consulted with someone else and he recommended pushing it even higher. I have a friend who takes 600mg and I'm back on it as a Parnate supplement (and possible replacement) and will push it as high as 800mg as long as there are no ill effects.
I definitely wouldn't consider 125mg a good trial unless you're getting negative side effects. I know in the beginning it is important to ramp up slowly to avoid possible rash.
You may want to try it again.
