I have a question for people taking lamictal/lamotrigine. I have slowly tirated up to 130 mgs. of this drug. So far - no results, but some strange side effects. I feel like I should keep on it because it has helped so many people. My question is does anyone think that if I don't feel better at 130 mgs. that I should quit taking it, or did anyone still not feel better at 130 and felt better at a higher dose? Thanks. Angela

Generally, 100 mg and up are therapeutic doses. Although you haven't seen any results thus far, I say that you should keep taking it, as it may take either a higher dose or more time to work for you. Personally, I am taking 350mg of it, and did not start seeing results till I got to 200 mg. I think you should wait it out longer. It is a good medicine.
Sluggishness (is that a word), worsening DP/DR at times, shaky. I put in my post that I was at 130, but actually I'm at 175. I thought the little pills (not the 100 mgs ones) were 10 mgs each, but, alas, they were 25.
