I tried 12.5 mg of Lamictal and it's great for my depression, but it still, combined with Trileptal, is causing swelling. Just a side effect.
I'm thinking of cutting the 12.5 in half and trying that. I may have to get a script for a pediatric dose in a few weeks when I see my doc.
Can anyone tell me more about Lamictal dosing? Do you have to take it everyday? How long does it stay in the body?
My doc let me try a low dose of Depakote, but it made me terribly depressed, but no pain & swelling. If I took Depakote with Lamictal I would feel like I was taking a downer & an upper. Does this make sense? Plus, Depakote didn't help with sleep.
