In reply to lamictal aggitation vs. mixed mania?, posted by porkpiehat on July 19, 2016, at 23:22:42
I get irritable for 2 or 3 days after increasing Lamictal. After I usually feel a lot better though. I actually just increased from 200 to 250 today and I've been a bit grumpy. I'm not worried though.
I'd give it a few days and see if it goes away. I've read about it here as well and it almost always does. The bigger issue to look out for is cognitive stuff...like I start to type a lot of emails with words missing once I got to 200mg. For me though the mood benefits outweigh some minor issues like that....
