I had exactly the same problem when inceasing the dose over 50mg. Just a constant dull headache. It would go away with a good dose of aspirin but who wants to take that everyday? Plus after a few good weeks, I wasn't getting any perceived benefit from the Lamictal anyway. In fact it made me mentally slower. Then agagin I have unipolar depression and Lamictal is a longshot in treating that.
