The titration schedule was changed so that now you start on 2X (50 mg) as much as before. Tried it according to the new schedule & got an awful sorethroat that felt like my ears were about to go & bad bodyaches and my eyes felt swollen. Quit for a few weeks and tried again starting at 12.5 mg & increasing by that amount with minimal, if any discomfort. I'm so glad that I tried again with it that I urge others to do so.

> I too tried Lamicatal a little over 1 year ago. I too followed the titration schedule provided in the packet. I too developed the burning sensations as well as redness/rash developing in those areas, as well as the tight palms, etc. I didn't last but maybe two weeks on it. In my opinion, the titration schedule in that packet is far too fast for some individuals.
