> It's typical with Lamictal. Some days I when I'm feeling low I think about restarting Lamictal, only to know that I will only get 2-3 weeks relief per dose increase. Some people say when you get to higher doses it sticks, but I have my doubts because I know people that have gone to 450mg chasing the feeling, and it fades. Also at higher doses (around 150mg), I had major cognitive problems and couldn't remember what happened five minutes ago.

>Definately a tease. In the past I have cycled my usage .... 4 days on 50 mgs and 4 days off .... just to keep it effective. I also have felt like a junky on it .... once it starts wearing off I get real desparate and keep praying and changing up the dose so it will work again.
