It is now at 300 mg which seems to work for me.
Good luck, sweetie!!
You know you have too much if you get a rash. That's what happened to me at 25mg... sucks, but now on trileptal.
slowly ramping it up due to the potentially harmfull side effects means that we need to be so, so, so patient..
I';ve been on it 2 1/2 months..since end of Nov. 07
If I were you I would keep my Lamictal at the dose you are currently at and ask your doc for something for anxiety like BuSpar,Cymbalta, Wellbutrin..They work specifically for anxiety and that way you are not upping the Lamictal.Lamictal is not for anxiety,so upping it doesn't make sense to me.good luck.Let me know how you do.
call your pdoc monday and let him know of the itching symptom.
