About a month ago (beginning of September), I finally talked with my psychiatrist regarding my anxiety, mood swings, lack of sleep, lack of focus, irritability. She said it was likely due to anxiety from my job (good office gig, but not challenging for me making it unbearable) and probably not a bi-polar disorder.

She prescribed Lamictal, 25mg to start (I am also on Focalin daily). A week in I felt like what I think a normal feels like.

She wants to continue to increase the dosage to the recommended levels, slowly.

I don't want to increase it at all. I have already traded alot of my drive and creativity for stability, and do not want to lose what I have left. My symptoms were never worse than moderate at worst.

Has anyone experienced issues with staying at a minimum dosage?
