I think 25mg would be safest.

I started on 25 for one week, then 50 for another week, then 75 for two, then 100... and I'll be continuing down this path. I don't know many people who started at 50. I've heard that the rash might be related to starting high dosages too fast. Not sure how true that is or not, but I stumbled across a few web pages that said that when looking Lamictal/lamotrigine up before buying it. (I hate being an uninformed buyer!)

The headaches usually go away after a few days. I've gotten them every time I've titrated up, but they're only annoying....a couple of Tylenol usually do the job.
So Tylenol is safe to use with it? Goody! I kept forgetting to ask my doctor and those headaches sure are a pain.
