Hi!

It would be nice to hear from you on how you are doing on Lamictal. Have you increased your dosage yet?

Hi there Amy!

Yes, I'm still faring well on Lamictal ,thanks- moved up to a whopping 25mg last week (am I hard or what?!)
After six weeks at slightly over 12.5mg, my mood dipped suddenly one morning (which was to be anticipated), and I promptly moved up to 25mg.
I felt some slight irritability and anxiety, fumbling for words etc. for a week, and then I was fine again.
I think possibly, within the space of a year, I may find myself edging towards 50mg or so- but it will be slow and cautious (I can't risk bringing on a mixed-state response.)
So, it'll be 25mg for a few months onwards.
Right now, even though I'm in a highly stressful environment/situation, I'm coping with the 'triggers' without plunging into depression or anger.Also, my mind is relatively sharp again-I'm making plans.
Hang in there with the Lamictal- first few weeks can be bumpy- hopefully you'll be an early responder like me.

Take care,

Col.
