I don't know if that would qualify as malpractice.
When used as an adjunct to traditional anticonvulsants in treating partial siezures, I believe the therapeutic range lies between 300mg and 500mg. However, I don't think 600mg is appropriate for treating mood-disorders. I don't think I have read of anyone needing more than 300mg, but I'm sure some people do. I lose the mild antidepressant effect it affords me whenever I try to reduce my dosage of Lamictal below 300mg.
