In reply to Lamictal titration, posted by gardenergirl on May 31, 2005, at 2:51:05
I increased 25mg every 2 weeks starting at 25mg. But to be honest I proabily needed 3 weeks or more to adjust to each dose. But everyone is different. Some people get very little or no side effects. The main thing is not to get the rash (the bad kind) but the possibility of getting the rash is very very small so I don't mean to scare you. I didn't get any rash but I got worse than normal insomnia for me, increased anxiety but overly happy at the same time. I have insomnia at the moment but that is from remeron withdrawl. I have been doing well on the lamictal (300mg) still some mild depression, but some good times as well. My mind is usually calmer as well. Although I became overly happy after each dose increase this effect faded after a week or so, until I reached 200mg, where the therapeutic effects lasted. Hope this helps. Sorry if this doesn't make sence I have not slept in a long time
