if there is one thing i could tell you about lamictal it would be to hang in there with it. you know how long it took to get your dosage where it is now. i know it felt like forever to me. i often felt like giving up on it because i was so irritable plus just didn't feel like i was getting any benefits from it (with the exception of keeping me from falling into what i fondly refer to as the pit).
now that i am finally at the dosage appropriate for me, 300 mg. i can say it was worth the wait. i haven't been at 300 mg long enough to say this will be a long term great drug, but so far, so good.
you don't really know what dose is appropriate for you until you get there. does that make sense. obviously you need to say at some point this isn't working. i'm no doctor but i wouldn't say where you are now is that point. don't throw the baby out with the bath water as they say.
