I am definitely going to ask my pdoc about an increase in lamictal. You are the second person to tell me my dosage was pretty low. Perhaps my pdoc wanted to see if I had any adverse side effects like the SJ rash, which I don't. I have seen that many people have had great success being on it at higher doses. I just want to get off of Geodon because I feel strongly that it is not helping me at all. Thanks!
