In reply to Starting Lamictal Soon Thanks to this Thread, posted by Leighwit on May 23, 2002, at 10:54:30
Hi-
I haven't followed this whole thread so may be repeating, but just wanted to put in one thing about my experience.
I take 300mg/Lamictal a day. It has helped me a lot and I consider it a permanent med for me.
I am very med sensitive so built up to the 300 much much slower than many people do- increases of only 12.5mg/every1-2 weeks. It took a long time to get to 300, but actually I began to feel some good effects pretty early. When I tried to go faster I would get flushed, anxious, and feel 'fluish'.
Just my experience, but don't dismiss this useful med if you feel too many side effects- just drop down and go slow.
