I just upped to 25mg today - 10 days at 12.5. I did notice a temporary vision enhancement - seemed like I could see more detail. Also I seemed to focus on whatever I noticed, like walking by something I would really notice it and keep looking, & then my focus would shift to something else. It was a kind of being slightly stoned feeling. The slight initial feelings of being more alert & not trapped in my usual fog have returned this morning, although it is still early & it takes awhile for me to get functioning. I don't know what kind of hopes I have for the Lamictal - if it cuts my depression & anxiety in half I will probably be happy with that - I think I could function in the world at that level. I also was diagnosed years ago with mvp - I actually don't know much about it & how it can effect one - it has never been mentioned again by any doctors. I will drink plenty of water, always carry a bottle, but sometimes forget. I am a little confused about therapeudic dose, but I figure after I am on a particular dose for awhile & there is great enough improvement, I will stay there. Thank you, TH
