I was just put on Lamictal to augment Wellbutrin. I am currently on 100 mg/day of Wellbutrin (I got a rash at 200 mg/day, so trying to see if it will go away at 100). They started me on 25 mg/day of Lamictal for a week, which didn't have any effect, then increased it to 50 mg/day. My pdoc said that if I don't notice an effect within 2 days on 50 mg to discontinue it, but I was reading in Dr. Bob's Tips that the minimum theraputic dose tends to be 100 mg/day. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Also, yesterday evening (my 2nd day on 50 mg), I got dizzy upon standing, felt very nauseous, and my vision was weird. I had pain in my right eye and felt like it was seeing higher than my left eye (?) - I guess, basically, it just all seemed out of whack, and very far-away things while driving were blurry. Are these common side effects of Lamictal, and do they go away?
Thanks,
Angela
