(hi Bob)
Frustrating. No great advance upon the improvements (in cognition, co-ordination & s. phobia) I reported previously, though it's unrealistic (going by what I've read) to expect my current dose (67.5mg) to deliver the kind of results that doses of btwn 100 & 200+mg seem to.The tortuously slow dose ramping is starting to wind me up; I'm considering jumping 12.5mg every 5 days instead of 7. The worry is of course that I'll invoke the rash & have to start all over again!
Only side-effect I've noticed is slight GI discomfort.
Whatever happens tho', I'm already impressed enough w/Lamictal to keep it on board.
Keep us posted & stick with it!
Jah.

Since I am very sensitive, I am still going to take it very slow. I am thinking I may not even get up to 50 mg/day. I do think, in hindsight, with so many of my other medications trials, that the amounts taken (usually the recommended, sometimes more) were too much for me. We shall see.> > P.S. It's still monotherapy on my end.
