It works pretty good for me, except it causes me to get up a bit more in the nights even though I take it in the am (I take the extended release one so that may be why). Hope you find the community here at PC very helpful, we are all here to support one another!

Thank you for your reply. I believe Lamotragine is the generic of Limictal. How long does it usually take for these meds to work. I started at 25 mg for two weeks, then 50 mg for 2 weeks and last Friday I just started on 100 mg. I have also heard that doctors should check certain levels, they have not done that with me yet. Thank you!
