Lamotrigine 75mg

I’ve been working my way to 100mg. They start you at 25 for 2 weeks then 50 for 2 then 75 for 2 no I made it to 75. I haven’t noticed a difference but I think 100 is the therapeutic dose. Anyone take this? Are you on 100? What’s the max? I’m taking it with clozaril. It said it’s support clozaril.

I take 150mg twice a day so 300mg. It seems to help control the moods along with lithium. I also take clozapine 500mg.

Not just one miss but a few in a row you would likely be moved back to a previous dose

I take 100 mg of Lamictal, but I think that’s just the lowest therapeutic dose. My husband takes 300 mg. I love Lamictal, it takes away all my mood problems and evens me out.

I’m also starting on Lamotrigine. Since last month. I’m presently on 50mg but soon going to 75 or 100mg. My pdoc made my target dose 150mg
So far it has helped a bit for my depression

I take 200mg once per day. It helps my mood swings.

100mg a day, really helped with my depressive swings

I take 200mg in the evening. My psychiatrist said that 400mg is maximum.

I couldn’t tolerate more than 12.5mg of that stuff.
Made me too manic and anxious!

Thanks for all your input
