> WOW I also improved at 300mg. i was taking neurontin and effexor together for years and i thought it worked but i never felt right. my doctor did give me lamactil but i never used it . i started taking it at 300mg and im so much happier now. Its like putting on glasses for the first time.
Yep, that is good the hear. Some people say there is no improvement above 100mgs, for depression.
You and I are proof this is not so for some people. I felt improvements right off the bat at 25 mgs and continued to improve with each increase, up to 300mgs. 300 mgs is now my stable dose. Unless I have another seizure. But my neuro thinks I will never have another one as long as I stay on the right anti-seizure med for me.FWIW, in seizures the the standard dose is 500 mgs
and you can go to 800mgs. But you have to titrate up to those doses. Most people tolerate these doses very well and there are lots of people taking Lactimal as seizures are the most common condition in neurology. This gives lots of room to try higher doses, for BP and depression.
