Hi Tsterr. Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry you are feeling the need to take more lamictal faster. Your doctor is following a commonly accepted practice in the Mental Health Professionals according to all the info I got from others using it.

Tell your doctor what you are doing and ask them their opinion. There are medical reasons why the lamictal is increased slowly. Going against these is like trying to perform surgery on yourself. Leaving it to the professionals is the safe route.
