i dont think anyone can have too many hugs... losing my dog was just another nail in my bipolar coffin,so to speak.....my animals,each one,was very sick at the end of their lives and i was unable to just let go and i pretty much did everything humanly possible to extend their lives.I guess in my sickly mind i felt my love would help ease their last days.Anyways....i wanted to tell you that you arent alone in doing the (secretly)titrating of Lamictal med.Mine isnt so much cost,thank god a generic came out and it went down to 15 bucks a month (wish my Provigil would be that cheap!!)i am doing it cuz i think i am having some side effects from it.So i have yet to tell my pdoc about this move,i see him at the end of july,but for now i have been doing the every other day thing.My dose is alot lower than yours though too.......i only take 100mg a day.I am not advocating at all that playing around with your meds is a good thing,and i think i feel a noticeable different when i dont take the med but until i get this side effect taken care of its just something me personally,that i need to do.And lastly,yes when you do go see the pdoc mention the sam-e.....i believe mine said that and st john's wort is a no-no with our psych meds.
PS here's some more hugs
