In reply to Lamictal: How Much Time For Each Dosage Increase?, posted by TomG on August 3, 2002, at 12:59:09
Hi. I parked it at 100 mg for a good 8 weeks, although I started to feel some benefit after about 62.5 mg on a 6.25/week titration.
Knowing my sensitivity to drugs, my pdoc sometimes just wants to let me "cook" at a dosage for a little while to see how it goes and to see if side effects workt their way out. Though it's faster than AD's, she said it can sometimes take a few weeks for maximum benefit of Lamictal to be realized. And it did really seem to work out that way. And then of course there was no point in raising it further. (I had to back it down to 87.5 because of headaches and nausea and just not feeling well at 100 mg.)
