In reply to Scared to try Lamictal - seeking opinions please, posted by Garnet71 on January 7, 2009, at 23:55:37
I understand have had good and bad pdocs. So far nothing works now for my anxiety as benzo tolerant. I did take lamictal for a shorttime . My only side effect was excess salivation had to constantly spit in a cup. So at 50mg had to go off it. Was being tried to augment an SSRI. I didn't have any memory problems but was only on it two weeks. Did the doc give you a starter pack? First dose for a week should be 25mg then 50mg for two weeks then l00mg to avoid change of rash. Some start at 12.5mg for two weeks. Did your doc say what dose he wanted you up to and what was the starting dose? Love Phillipa
