I didn't even know they made 37.5 mg tablets. That titration seems very slow. Too slow. I went up to 150 mg and have stayed there as my maintenance dose.

I was immediately noticeably better the first day I took it. I did not have any grogginess, etc. Lamictal is known for being rather activating, although of course with these drugs our bodies tend to react differently, so I can only relate what I know and my own experience.

I'm not a doc, of course, but I have never seen anyone go from 25 to 37.5. Not to say it doesn't happen and maybe it happens all the time. Dunno.
I've been on Lamictal for over a month&I started gettin really depressed. I'm@100mg in the am instead of at night. They added Seroquel XR@nite&I noticed an immediate reach. I'm starting to feel "normal". Just that
tiny adjustment&I'm back to being peppy&"the way everyone is used to". It takes a while to get adjusted&o the right combo of meds.
