Hi Ted,
Well we all know what happened to me on lamictal, but on my way up to that 100mg mark, I really had no side effects at all. I was on klonopin at the same time (panic disorder) so that may have protected me from the anxiety you are feeling. Of all the mood stabilizers I have taken this had the lowest side effect profile (except for neurontin which did nothing). Are you on any benzos now? If you can't tolerate the 25mg increases, my shrink told me I could cut the pill in 1/2, even though they say not to. Also increasing every 10 days isn't unusual. Cognitively, I always function poorly when depressed and of course genius level when manic. So it's hard to point fingers at meds, except I know for sure when I was on stupidmax aka topamax I was functioning poorly. Wishing you just the slightest hypomania- Judy
