I almost recently gave up on Lamictal. I was titrating up to 150mg, reached it for 10 days and felt bad, nausea, irritable, felt run down, etc. My pdoc had my drop back to 100mg for 2 more weeks then back up to 150mg and I had no problems.
It does take your body a while to adjust at your target dose and I simply threw in the towel to quick at 150mg originally because it takes so long to work your way up on dose and every time you increase, your body has to recalibrate all over again.
I don't know what your target dose is but I would reach it, try it for 4 WEEKS and if you have problems, make a decision from there.
I'm so glad I listened to my doc on this because I feel good now at 150mg with NO side effects.
