Thanx Gal. I have been on Risperdal for a few months longer than Lamictal. It never made me sick, it just made me so druggy that I was a med zombie all the time. It was awful! So I could never stay on the .5mg starter dose even! I am now taking .25mg of it, which does seem to help take a tiny bit of the edge off, but not much. And the Lamictal hadn't caused me any side effects yet, after almost a week of the every other day thing. So I decided to go to every day last night, a week early. It's still only 25mg a day! And if we're working up to between 100-200mg a day, that will take months to get to at the pace she had me at! I just don't feel like I'm stable enough at the moment to wait it out, as is. So I will call her on Monday & see if she wants to up the Lamictal sooner, or give me something else to help get me through without ripping heads off in the mean time! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
