Hi Phillipa,
I'm still at least a week away from 50mg (now at 25). I'm not sure I'm going to make it that far though. Not if these sleeping wars keep happening.So far my mouth is actually too try, but that could be one or more of the other meds I'm taking. Another poster in this thread suggested that maybe the mix contains too many meds, and one or more of those in combination is doing this. Needless to say, I'm open to suggestion.
I'll keep that salivation thing in mind if it happens to me - then I'll know which med is causing it.
One thing I do monitor very carefully is any sign of that deadly rash that can occur on Lamictal. It's very rare and even then responds to early treatment. It's just that it sounds so gross it has me on the alert.
That rash, BTW, is why the dose changes in the starter set are so gradual. They're just playing it safe so they can catch the rash at a low dose before it gets too far.
Take care,
Reggie BoStar
