In reply to what should i expect from 75mg to 100mg Lamactil, posted by paulb on February 3, 2016, at 19:41:04
Even if you were to see a partial improvement at 100 mg/day of Lamictal, I would still continue increasing the dosage as tolerated to 200-300 mg/day. See how much you can squeeze out out it. You could go on for years feeling worse than would be necessary were you to target such a low arbitrarily chosen dosage.
Many people will experience a brief improvement of depression when they first arrive at dosages between 50-100 mg/day. They are fooled into thinking that these lower dosages are all that is necessary, despite having lost the improvement. 200 mg/day is the dosage most often arrived at after careful titration. Another oddity is that some people feel better briefly when they reduce the dosage. This can deceive people into thinking that lower is better.
