I've been on the Lam for 2 weeks.
I started at 25 mgs but the side effects were serious - I could hardly function.
So I went back to 12.5 mgs and started taking it at night (it helps me get a full night's sleep). I've noticed a big improvement. Side effects have continuously decreased. I went back up to 25 mgs on day 14 so let's see what happens.
I would eventually like to take a daily dose of 25 or 50 mgs and to drop the Prozac. Since I started Lamictal, I've decreased the Prozac from 20 to 10 mgs - against the wishes of my pdoc. After 4 1/2 years, this medication has run its course and it's time to try something else.
