I was at 100 mg of Lamictal for about a month with no side effects or anti-depressant effects either, felt like a placebo.
So my psychiatrist raised the dose. I've been on 125 for a week and I was going to increase it to 150 on Friday but am having second thoughts because I seem to be getting an abnormal amount of acne- I am 23 & ocassionally get ingrown hairs from shaving but this seems more like real acne like a teenager, especially beneath the sideburn near the jaw/ear lobe area. I also seem to be slurring my words sometimes & have short term memory loss this week since i've switch to lamictal 125 mg. But I guess that could be from the Klonopin 2 mg daytime I take but somehow I doubt it since i've been taking Klonopin for a 3+ months now.
Anyways, is increased acne a pre-sign of the dreaded lamictal rash? If so, I guess I should wait another week before raising the dose to 150 mg.
