Hi,
Just to add my 2c: I've also had good experience with LAM- but I crashed and burned last weekend and have increased the dose up to 350mg. Anyone else reached this high of a dose? Anyone tried augmentation strategies like Neurontin?
Thanks!

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'.
