Wow! I feel completly insane! I'm 600mg of Lamictal. However, this is working real well for me. No side effects at all. I too gradually increased to this amount. This is the max that should be taken. Several doctors have said that I'm the most exteme person with bpd they've ever treated. So I must take higher doses than most. I'm on a few other meds as well to properly treat me. I hate taking this handful of pills every morning to be functional and stable. But it IS worth it! Life without meds is just too destructive and unmanagable. Anyway, Lamictal is a wonderful med for those that respond well to it.
