Hi Mags,
Sorry I haven't e-mailed you back yet...by the time I'm done reading and responding to posts, it's time to get my daughter up or crash myself.Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're going to give Lamital another try. I am holding my own at 75 mg after dropping down from 100 mg. I think I'll stay at this dose for awhile -- I usually get effects at about 1/4 of the usual dose, so 75 mg may actually be where I will stay, at least for the time being. My anxiety is amazingly reduced, but I still suffer from fatigue and fogginess.
Take care!
cindy> I was increasing by 25 mg every two weeks but I think I am going to increase by 12.5 mg from now on . I was at 75mg and backed off to 50mg 'cause I was feeling so bad.....the pains and aches have let up a fair bit and I am not nearly so tired plus sore ears throat gone....I am going to wait a week and then titrate up again...thanks for the encouragement everyone!
