Hi,
Based on what you had written in a post somewhere above, it sounds like you were given a starter kit for Lamictal which is the same as the one I have just begun - I'm on 25mg every other day for 2 weeks then 25mg every day for 2 more weeks and now 50mg a day. Did you use the starter kit? Just curious because what you mentioned is EXACTLY how I'm titrating up on it (low and slow).
How high a dose does your pdoc plan to get you to and do you know what increments you will be doing it in?
My pdoc told me that 200mg/day of Lamictal for BP or depression is the therapeutic dose, although with my sensitivity to meds, I may not make it that high.
