Thanks, Scott, for the suggestion. I managed to scrunch up the courage to ask my pdoc and he seemed to like the suggestion.

Good luck with it.
Are you experiencing any side effects at the moment?
What dosage were you at - 100mg?
What are you moving up to?
Raising the dosage might produce some transient memory problems. They usually go away at dosages under 300mg.

Believe it or not, I am going from 25 to 50 mg. :) Which come to think of it was my initial target for the migraines, but it worked at 25 so I didn't bother. I just started so I haven't noticed any difference yet.
Except... I had one of those weird mid sleep/waking incidents last night. My sleep neurologist are positive that they're indicative of mild narcolepsy, although I've only had them so far on neurontin and they were different on neurontin than last night. On the other hand I was way overtired last night and maybe that was the cause. I'll give it longer before I think of it as being related to the Lamictal.
I definitely don't need more memory problems. :) But I'll hope for the best, especially at such a low dose.
