Lamictal should only be increased 25mg at a time.

Yeah i was really surprised when i finished up the 25's (4 times a day) and got the big bottle with the big 100's and the rx said take twice daily... @_@ waaaaaaaaait a minute. I dunno. Called PN, said i can cut the 100's and take half a day, but I am still reacting to 50mgs at a time. So she is changing the rx to 25mgs, 3 daily. but in the mean time i am supposed to cut the 100mgs into 4ths.
but that still doesn't help me figure out this menstural cycle business. It's been steady at 26 days now for probably 6-8 months. and now this month, on the 100s, it is 6 days late. I am rarely ever more than 2 days late. and the night sweats which are totally new to me (ok i have had them before once or twice, but this is EVERY night now) I hate it. And i forgot to mention just how vacant i feel. inside. it is like i don't know who i am.
I'm not BP so i am not supposed to get up to the 300 range. and when PN first started talking with me about it, she said she'd have me on 25. I had no idea this would be increasing. Why do i feel like i am constantly in the dark? Can I really be this confused where no one is making sense to me and i can't seem to make sense to anyone? PN, T... my dr.....
omg am i even real????

ok i need to breathe and stop thinking for a while.
