I think it is important to work with a doctor you trust and come up with a plan that feels right to you.
That said, your pdoc and my pdoc seem to have different thoughts about Lamictal. My pdoc said that most people will first feel effects at 50mg and 25mg doses usually don't do much. He said that some people can get by on 100, but most people seem to feel better on 150 or 200.
So i think if you would have seen my pdoc he would have suggested more Lamictal rather than less! But there are many different opinions and many different options. Basically you have to try things and see what works for you!
Best,
