In reply to who take trileptal AND lamictal???, posted by woolav on August 2, 2005, at 9:38:49
Lamictal is a drug that requires gradual dose increases. If you increase the dose too quickly, it is possible to develope a serious and dangerous rash. You should definitely not increase the dose before asking your doctor. Except for the rash issue, it is a very safe drug. So if you increase it slowly with your doctor's supervision, you probably won't have any problems.

> I take 300mg of lamictal (which means I have to break a tab in half, since they come in 200mg tabs. And it is the grossest tasting med EVER. I am thinking of asking my pdoc to raise me to 400mg so I dont have to break it. I also take a total of 600mg of trileptal.
