> I'm only taking 100 and it's doing me no good, my pdoc told me that 200 was the minimum effective for bipolar, but I stopped going. Not helpful to you, I know

That is helpful. I thought 200 mg was considered the minimum. I'm down to 300 mg. Will hold there and see what happens.


> ---With Lamictal I understand you must go slow, up and down. Like 25 at a time for a week or two. I know this is a couple of days late, but it is all I have to offer.

I went real slow on the way up, but I remember my doc saying that you can change doses in larger steps as the dose increases. I dropped from 400 mg to 300 mg just the other day, and so far so good.

You might be interested to know that my neuro said that my chance of getting the rash is extremely remote -- given the length of time that I've been on Lamictal -- and the dose being high enough.


Thanks for the reply.
