Hi, there .

I'm on Lamictal at 25mg. Today is my 20th day. It's really helped in that it had pulled me out of a deep depression. The last 18 days have been absolute Heaven. I haven't been depressed, nor have I been high as a kite. I'll go as far as to say I've been stable. Almost normal.

Things changed on Thursday. I've been battling with rage, and I've been going through a fairly roughly mixed phase. I've been craving company, but have been pushing close friends away from me. I've damaged friendships that mean a lot to me. My temper has been well and truly out of control. I'm hating myself, but at the same time, loving my strength. I'm aroused easily, but at the same time, disgusted by my need for sex. It's been a rough few days.

I've recently learned that this might be because my system has gotten so used to being on 25mg of Lamictal, that it's lost it's effect. On further research, many people have moved from 25mg to 50mg after two weeks.

I see my psych in a couple of weeks, although, I do plan to call her in a couple of hours. I'm hoping she can shine some light on this, too.

My question is how long was it before you moved from 25mg to 50mg?

Thank you for taking the time to read and share your experiences with me.
