I'm only on 50mgs/day Lamictal (I'm supposed to go to 200mgs/day) and I feel better already. Its not a major shift from the pits of despair to normalcy, more like a subtle shift from melancholy and a sense of being physically and mentally slowed down a bit to being faster with thinking and talking, more sociable, and less apprehensive and timid.
What experiences do y'all have with lamictal, and how does dose affect them? I'm kind of concerned that 200mgs/day might overshoot my "sweet spot," but considering that I'm prone to agitation and my doctor is willing to lower the 30mgs Abilify to 15mgs once I'm at 200 lamictal, I guess a somewhat higher dose makes sense. Or does it? I just don't know.
Thanks for any input you may have.
