>>From November 22, 2003>>Sorry to but in but I am really struggling with whether or not to stay on the Lamictal. I am only at 75mg right now, about 6 weeks.

Hi Beth,
From what I can gather you began augmenting your Zoloft with Lamictal back in mid October? And now you are finally at the 100 mg mark? What increments have you been increasing with?
As with any cocktail it can be difficult to distinguish what medication is causing what se. I'm beginning to wonder about how spacey the lamotrigine might be making me. I've only been on a bit under a month and am discouraged by the molasses like titration. I fully understand the reasons for going so slowly but dang it is such a long haul.
It helps tremendously to read about how it can and does help people if they are patient enough to get up to a therapeutic dosage that is right for them! The patience part is one thing I'm not feeling very positive about at the moment.
Good luck with your pdoc today.
