Hello there. Yes I'm on 400 mg of Lamictal. I started out on a low dose for my depression. Then my pdoc wanted me to reach 200 mg. I had a big changing event so my mg was increased. The event turned into an mixed episode which led to me being hospitalized. As far as the support groups they helped me. There not like AA/NA meetings. There not plentiful around each city. Remember we're talking abt mental illness which is taboo. With that said there are groups just not around each corner. It not bother me that they where not in walking distance bc I have a car. If he doesn't it would be really supportive to go with him and give him a ride.
I think ur topic is awesome and I wish my family would ask the question
