Leveling off on Lamactil
| Mon, 12-05-2005 - 2:48pm |
Hello all! I saw pdoc on Friday and she suggested that we level off the lamactil at 50mg because of my leg cramps and because I seem to have had such a positive response at these low (sub-therapeutic?) doses. I'm afraid to stop here, of course, afraid eventually the mania will come back. And I'm sure it will, because the nature of this disease. Does anyone else take such a low dose? Love, Mo.


Hey Mo! I've heard of others who stabilize at lower doses than 200 mgs on Lamictal. The higher doses usually work on the "depressive" side of the BP anyway. If you're doing well right now, then its probably okay to level off...you can always go back up again. Your BP usually manifests in mania, so I think you'll be fine. You know what to watch for too.

Love ya,

I was at 200mg also...until I figured out its why I was feeling like total crap.
