In reply to Lamictal advice, urgently needed!!, posted by lawrence s. on October 30, 2002, at 2:10:39
Try a few weeks at 37.5mg first.You'll need to either get some scored 25mg pills, or just try to fairly accurately split one half of a scored 50mg pill.You may well have titrated upwards a little to quickly.I experienced a similar reaction if I overshot the mark too quickly.
I would personally aim for a slower titration for a month or so, before considering other options, such as the (perhaps temporary) addition
of a benzo., or even neurontin for the agitiation.In the long run however, Lamictal alone should level your mood whilst maintaining a good AD effect.Patience and trial and error are the key with this med- well worth the wait for many people though.
