Finally saw my pdoc today (THANK GOD), and she prescribed lamotrigine, which I am so excited about - because I'm currently not on anything except the AD, which is what made them realize I was bipolar in the first place because I'm having a bad reaction.

Question is, I remember my pdoc telling me she was starting me on 25mg, but when I got the prescription it said "take 25mg twice daily", which is essentially starting me at 50mg.

I emailed her, but she usually takes a few days to reply. Is what they put on the bottle typically what the doctor writes? Is 50 mg too high to start on? (I know about the rash).

I'm just nervous. I know none of you are doctors, but what do you think I should do?
