I really like Lamictal too-it really does help 'level' me out. I've never taken above 50mg though. Did you get any side effects as you increased-do you remember? I am barely starting at 50mg now and am already having nausea.
> I have been taking 200mg of Lamictal and it works better than anything I've taken date. But I thought I'd try upping the dose (slowly) to 300 hundred because of posts I've read. I fell pretty good at 200 but I still have less energy than most anybody I've ever known. Well at 250 and above the higher I went the less I slept. It was like I was asleep dreaming I was awake. I knew I was asleep but I was aware I was asleep. It was weird. And so I started getting maybe five or six hours of this half sleep a night. I need nine hours of real sleep minimum. The moment I cut the dose back I slept like a log. I made up for weeks of sleep debt. I am going to stick at 225 for the foreseeable future.
