Sems like there's a really wide individual variation on Lamictal. Some people have posted that as little as 25mg helped them, and on the other hand my pdoc has one patient on 600 mg/day.
I am currently on 300 mg./day and doing OK - need to change some other things in my lifestyle and meds before I can be sure that's the right level for me. It's high enough I do get a bit of confusion and lack of alertness from it, which concerns me.
BTW, I had a huge anxiety attack a day or two after I ramped from from 50 to 100 mg Lamictal. It took 4 mg/day clonazepine to bring me down from it. Unfortunately I'm still taking the colnazepine, though I probably don't need it nearly as much now I'm on a stable dose of Lamictal. The temporary anxiety attack when upping the dose probably doesn't happen to everybody, but I find it's easier to handle some of these weird things if you know it's not just you.
