Hi,
I have been on lamictal for about 6 weeks, and have had to up the dose very, very slowly by about 25mgs every other week.I am currently on 125mgs, *but* am also on: 20mgs paxil,30 mgs remeron,0.5mgs clonipin, 0.2mgs clonidine,800 mgs tegretol.I don't know how much of the lamictal potentiates the other drugs. I think I need less due to the tegretol.Have been on neurontin(which I liked)too, but not with lamictal.Noticed improvement of depression after about a week of 100mgs.Incidently the lamictal was the most recent drug to be added to my coctail.
I would like to taper down 1 or 2 of the *other* drugs, but when it's time to taper I'm, sure my doc will have me do it very slowly.I am interested in your continued experience with lamictal especially in combo with other meds.
Lois
