In reply to Lamictal dosages, posted by Opolonio on July 31, 2000, at 10:46:59
I take 350 mg of Lamictal. I've never taken it with Neurontin. I'm augmenting it with lithium, though. My pdoc says he likes this combo, but I'm not so sure. Actually it's the lithium that I hate. Why is she so against raising your Lamictal past 225 mg? Neurontin and Lamictal are pretty much on the same page, so maybe she thinks it's too much to take together. Would you prefer to take Lamictal instead of Neurontin?

> My pdoc has had no experience prescribing Lamictal. After sending me for a consultation at a mood disorders program she agreed to suplement the Neurontin I take with the Lamictal. Just when I was starting to feel some relief from my depression, after my dosage had been increased to 200 milligrams, she absolutely refused to raise the dosage and reccomended ECT. After badgering her during my next two appointments she finally agreed to raise the dose to 225 milligrams. I'd be interested in knowing what dosages have been effective for other people taking Lamictal.
