My psychiatrist wants me to take Lamictal 25mg for a week and then up to a maximum of 50mg. But it is the Zypexa that worries me, I really don't want to get dependant on this. Thanks for replying, it is good to know that I am not alone.
50Mgs a day for Lamictal is WAT too low to produce any effect at all. At that low of a dosage one may not want to bother taking it at all. The absolute minimum effective dosage for Lamictal (Lamotragine) is 100Mgs a day. any less is like taking a sugar pill.
As for Zyprexa. It's been offered to me many times, but after reading to many bad stories here about Zyprexa I was too afrade to give it a try.
I can't help but wonder why your doctor is not aware that 100 Mgs a day of lamictal is the absolute minimum dosage. Why would he stop at 50?
As for the Lamictal. Only 25mgs a day? Do you mean that is your starting dosage? You have to ramp up Lamictal dosage slow. I am at 200Mgs of Lamictal a day and it took me 2 months to reach that effective dosage.
As for Zyprexa. It's been offered to me many times, but after reading to many bad stories here about Zyprexa I was too afrade to give it a try.
