Lamictal Discontinuation Information Requested!

In reply to re: Remeron taper and Lexapro, posted by Bela on August 15, 2003, at 10:15:29

hi Bela,

you have written us thus:
> Hi Jim. I have enjoyed your comments over the past few weeks. I hope I have some good advice to pass on as I wean myself off of Remeron and remain on Lexapro at the minimum therapeutic dose of 10 mg. So far (about 6 weeks), I have had no side effects from the Lexapro but I have been as jumpy as a cat on fire the past few days, which is probably due to being at the half-way point on the Remeron taper. I am also on the mood stabilizer, Lamictal, and would like to get off that, too. Does anyone have any experience with Lamictal who can advise on this?
> Bela

Thanks for your posts and positive contributions here on our lexapro thread! ...
... and thanks for the nice compliment to me ...
... you're too kind ... i'm just winging here
... but if i'm providing entertainment value ... i'll take it!
... i have enjoyed your posts too! ...

you've asked about Lamictal ...
i know zero about Lamictal ... this will be a very long post if we have to get into how many things i do not know ...

so

here's three things we can do here and one to do elsewhere:

here:
1) post a request with a specific attention getting subject line, so folks glancing through the message board may take notice and offer their help ...
... ... for instance, see what i have done to your subject line ... oh, you already have, huh?

2) post the same message to the main pBabble message board using the "Start a new thread" option at the bottom of the main pBabble message board page ... ... again, a good subject line helps!

3) do a search for posts about Lamictal on the main pBab board and post a request to the other Lamictal posters.

"elsewhere":
4) Use Google to search the whole dang web for information on Lamictal

hope this can help you!
let us hear how it works out info-wise and Lamictal-wise.

take care,
~ jim

p.s.
... ... a lot of folks are getting therapeutic benefits from less than 10 mg ... ... some see benefits from as little as 2.5 mg ... we get told that 20 mg is the maximum doseage, but again, some folks benefit from 30 mg or more ...
