I'm reeeeeal confused now ... you said those doses are too low, which I'm sure you're right (I'll have to check PDR, etc.!), but if they're too low, then how come Lamictal even comes in samples of 2 mg? I kid you not, she gave me bottles of 2 mg, and I start with 2 pills (4mg) each morning for awhile. That's a far cry from what you said - initially 50 mg per day for 2 weeks, then 100 mg daily in 2 divided doses for 2 weeks; may increase by 100mg/day at 1-2 week intervals; usual maintenance 100-500mg/day in 2 divided doses!!!!! EEEEEK! Thanks for the info.
