Hi
I am perplexed with my dose of 2mg chewable infantile lamotrigine. I feel great and depression gone. My new pdoc advised 8mg infantile to start with, but i cut it in half but felt agitated so i cut again into another half to settle for 2mg infantile in the morning.
Yet i know well that the therapeutic dose is 100mg for someone who weighs 90kg i.e. 200lbs approx. so how come i am OK. Will I go back to depression?
My question if someone is OK on some dosage is that alright or it will have to go up eventually. Again, suppose it will continue OK like this, is this medically wrong ? and no matter what dose is OK for me my illness will worsen unless i reach the 100mg at least. To put it differently, for the better sake of my BP so that it doesn't worsen with time should I use a therapeutic dose irrespective of what I feel. I let my father ask this question today to a young doctor, he said it means the person is not ill for start, yet I know well I am BP1 , suffer regularly from serious depression (perhaps meaning BP2 not 1) had mania once with psychosis, held the tail of a tiger in the zoo and spent huge amount of money while manic.
So who is wrong ? me , or my BP (not specific BP) or the young doc, or am i dreaming and nothing of the sort happenned?? and I am imagining things. Sure not the latter since I expect that you return my mail
thanks ezz
