My pdoc started me on the Lamictal and instead of following the starter pack, she wants me to increase dose every week, instead of 2 weeks, starting of course with 25mg but also taking 75mg for one week unlike the starter pack which jumps from 50mg to 100mg.
Any input would be appreciated.

In reply to Lamictal dosage question, posted by theo on June 23, 2004, at 7:03:44
I am on Lamictal 300mg per day, 150mg in AM and 150mg in PM. It took me quite awhile to work up to that dosage as I increased it by 25mg every two weeks. Each time I increased the dose I would experience agitation/anxiety for a few days but then it would go away. Now that I am at my target dose I have no anxiety or agitation. This med is wonderful for my moods and I have less depression. The rule of thumb is to start slowly.
