Right now I really need to be able to see my Dr...and I'll just have to pay out of pocket, I guess. God.
Things have not been good. Upped to 100 mg. of Lamictal, and I can't tell if it's making things worse, rather than better. I don't know if I should drop back down to 50. Has anyone else been better on lower doses of Lamictal? I can't really go to the doc right now...schedule is jam packed and he's 4 hours away.
I have to call and check in with him today, as I was such a mess I think he was quite worried.
I have like 30 people coming this weekend to entertain (4th of July party) and I'm overwhelmed. I wish I could just get hypomanic...horrible to say, but god life is so much better when I feel well.
Any ideas on the lamictal?
Thanks guys. Love you all!

i found as my dose went up my mood fluctuated quit a bit until i hit 150 mg, i was very hypo manic at the lower doses. it takes a while to even out and build up to that therapeutic level. i assume since your at 100mg you haven't bin taking it long? i say give it time if you have no bad side effects, but definitely keep pdoc in loop.
have fun at the 4th of July party, hope it goes well.
