I know, but both my pdocs have told me it will be okay to go up to 150mg as fast as I want because I've taken it before. I don't trust this advice because I got a rash on each occasion I tried Lamictal, but for some reason this doesn't seem to register with them - that yes, I have taken Lamictal in the past, but it wasn't okay. They're starting to imply I'm being deliberately difficult for going at a slower rate than they'd prescribed, just like I thought they would. I'm caught in yet another double-bind scenario. That type that can drive people mad.
Same thing with the Lamictal insomnia, I told them I got this side effect last time I took it, and I'm having it again this time. As I was leaving he said "Lamictal will help you sleep better". He just isn't listening to me, but then he never did. It's as if they think I'll be gulled into believing whatever they say just because they're qualified.
