hi all,
i'm currently on lamictal 200mg, which i take in the morning. i was under the impression that this way a small dose; that most people take at least 300mg, but no one on this thread mentioned taking more than 200.
my pdoc says that the effects of lamictal aren't usually correlated to dose. i feel like lamictal is not doing much for me, especically compared to the lithium that i'm used to. i would feel more comfortable on a higher dose.
different doctors have a different schedule for increasing the dose, though all are concerned about steven johnsons. one said that we can double the dose every two weeks while another increased me from 100 to 150 for two weeks before taking me up to 200.
good luck to you all!
