For me, it was only a couple of days. But we all react differently (for example, I totally freak out at the tiniest doses of Zoloft, Prozac etc.). So, just go slowly and see how you feel. DO NOT let the doctor dictate your dosage -- only you can determine what's best for you, and some people do better with less of any given med than the "official" amount.
Take charge of your situation -- be polite to your doctor, but don't allow him/her to push you beyond your limits. If 50 mg of Lamictal works, then stick with this. The tablets are easy to divide, so, maybe try 75 mg before 100. You''re in control; of course you need a doctor's advice, but as long as you don't exceed what they recommend, experimenting with less is perfectly safe.
