I never did well on a low does of lamictal, I am currently on 400mg a day. This seems to work well for me, but if I forget to take it in the morning, i feel it by noon. - So I make sure I keep backup supplies at work and in the car- just in case.

I was put on 25- then 50 then 100mg for my first year on it, but it did not help and so with my Dr. we upped it to 200, then 250, then 300, then 400, the 450 then back down to 400 over the course of a year Which has worked well for me- even well enough to drop my citalapram. Remember it takes around 30 days to see any affects...

There are free clinics and clinics that charge on a sliding scale that would most likely be able to help you continue on your meds. Some of them have a waiting list especially for psych stuff. So I would try and get in there now. If you are willing to pay full boat for a doctor visit, your doc might be able to give you a longer perscription to get you by until you can figure out insurance and get back on your feet. As far as the cost of lamictal... generics run about $4 for a 100mg, but $6.50 for a 200mg, so I would see if your doc will perscribe 200mg tablets that you can cut in half.

Going off lamictal abruptly can trigger a manic episode, give you headaches etc.. so I would get back on it ASAP. I have had my pharmacy give me an emergency supply before to get me by- so you could check into that.
