Hi Jane,
I have been toying with the idea of trying to increase the Lamictal again. I did get up to 125 mg at one point, but felt really lousy -- very bloated (had to buy new pants!), tired, etc. I'm not convinced it was the Lamictal, though ... You're right, it could be worth a shot.Emme mentioned that Lamictal comes in 5 mg tablets ... that would be the best way for me to go ... increase very slowly and see where I get relief.
Thanks for the advice! By the way, are you the Jane who was pregnant while on Lamictal? If so, how are things going for you? If not, just disregard!

I know that at around 125 mg or so, I experienced real relief from mild obsessive thoughts (unable to clean the sink without cleaning the whole house, that sort of thing).
