Six weeks? I`ve been ramping up the dose of lamictal for 6 months now-only up to 187.5 mg so far. Haven`t seen any benefit yet. You may be able to tolerate going up a lot faster, but the faster you go the greater the risk of "The Rash" and other side effects. I`ve experienced restless sleep(waking up with nightmares and not being able to get back to sleep), dizziness/incoordination, brief memory lapses, and joint and abdominal pain. I don`t know, I`ve been reading Psycho-Babble for a long time and it seems like every few months there`s a new fad drug. Lamictal seems to be the favorite now. Of course, everything works for somebody. Cecilia
