Ummmmm years ago my Pdoc wanted to bump me up to 300mg .. 150 twice a day... I said Nope I ain’t taking it twice a day, I’ll take it at bedtime. He ordered Lamictal 300mg XR ... I have never had a problem with Lamictal thankfully ... but maybe she would consider writing you a week or so worth of a reasonable mg amount you can agree on and see if you tolerate that better ?? Just a thought  |
Thanks! We did consider XR; however, if I cannot tolerate the increase from 300mg to 400mg, it makes sense to me to attempt this in 50mg increments than to accelerate the titration by utilizing 400XL.
I'm not sure of why people get hung up on the fact that their own pdoc is affiliated with Harvard. Nor do I understand why others take issue with anyone's pdoc who may have a Harvard affiliation.
My pdoc definitely does not feel she is special, quite the opposite, She is quite humble-- and her colleagues often refer to her as having "a big personality without the ego."
Why the "Harvard Hang -Up" expressed often on this site? Both the "bragging" and the "jabs" seem unnecessary to me and I wonder why this is an issue at all?
