Lamictal and diminishing return

Posted by Beckett on October 23, 2014, at 17:21:05

I'd like to discuss with lamictal users how you found your optimal dose. I think this stuff works for rapid cycling up to a point.
After a mixed episode, my doc raised it to 250 mg. Now I have weird back pain, a massive headache, ear ringing. Clearly this is due to lamictal, so I am stepping down.
150 mg seemed best. The intent was (besides dampening mood) to budge some unresolved symptoms, etc. I was hopeful. I was at 200 mg. for a few weeks and felt dopey....
