In reply to When to take LAMICTAL - AM or PM?, posted by theo on July 3, 2004, at 8:12:42
> When is Lamictal most commonly taken when taking as a single dose, AM or PM? If you take twice daily at what milligrams do you start splitting the dose?
TheoI'm no longer on Lamictal but when I was, I started at 12.5mg and took it in the PM. I tirated extremely slowly (every 2 weeks to hopefully avoid SJS) so each time was 12.5mg. I took the first increase in the morning. I alternated back and forth between adding my 12.5mg between AM and PM every 2 weeks until I reached my high of 150mg, at which point I did get SJS unfortuntely and had to come off of it.
So, I guess to summarize, I took both AM and PM from the very beginning.
What has the Dr told you to do?
