In reply to lamictal come down !, posted by f l y on April 8, 2004, at 21:49:07
> i am taking lamictal (200mg). havent figured out how to take it w/o having an uncomfortable come down period. seems to last 2-3 hours and then i go down hill. tried taking all 200mg in evening and following day started off ok but after 2:00pm started going down hill fast. seems to help w/ mood swings but dont know if i can continue b/c come down periods. any experience welcome!
If I recall, the half-life of Lamictal is 11 hours. Most people take it as divided dosages twice a day. Until recently I had been taking 100mg three times a day for a total of 300mg. I guess the next step is to consider increasing your dosage and trying a twice a day or three times a day schedule. It might not help, but it might be worth a try.
