Hi there Amy!

Yes, I'm still faring well on Lamictal ,thanks- moved up to a whopping 25mg last week (am I hard or what?!)
After six weeks at slightly over 12.5mg, my mood dipped suddenly one morning (which was to be anticipated), and I promptly moved up to 25mg.
I felt some slight irritability and anxiety, fumbling for words etc. for a week, and then I was fine again.
I think possibly, within the space of a year, I may find myself edging towards 50mg or so- but it will be slow and cautious (I can't risk bringing on a mixed-state response.)
So, it'll be 25mg for a few months onwards.
Right now, even though I'm in a highly stressful environment/situation, I'm coping with the 'triggers' without plunging into depression or anger.Also, my mind is relatively sharp again-I'm making plans.
Hang in there with the Lamictal- first few weeks can be bumpy- hopefully you'll be an early responder like me.

Take care,

Col.
