Well, I wouldn't recommend this, but I've increased by 50 mg and will go to 500 in a few days. I never had a rash (fingers crossed). I just happen to not be sensitive to Lamictal side effects other than headache. Titrating slower than you have (like 12.5 mg a week or two) might be good if you wish to try going up on it again. I'm a huge fan of Lamictal, so I can't really be objective ;).
I haven't stopped taking Lamictal since I started it (many years ago) so I don't know about withdrawal effects -- I didn't know there were any. Hmm.
I don't have bipolar, I'm just moody.
