I was wondering when anyone was going to say anything about what I will call headaches - not migraines. Not that I'll stick to that classification. I started getting headaces here and there at 50 mgs. At 75 mgs, they were daily. I continued, because both Pdoc and neurologosit said the weirdest thing, your headaches go away as you keep titrting up. Well, by the time I was 2 weeks into 100 mgs, I felt that my head was in a vice for 4 weeks. Nothing on earth would relieve me. I liked Lamictal for what it did to my morale at as soon as 50, and sometimes through the frowning at 75, but migraine/tension headaches has got to be the most awful thing ever. I now know there is such a thing known as the Lamictal headache like people talk of the Lamictal rash. And easier titration won't help cause I tried a second time, though the second time, I did not allow myself to go over one week of 75 mgs, as the headaches grew like the wild things.
I don't know about adding Topamax. I can't take Topamax for all sorts of reasons.
