But I was thinking, if you're supposed to take 25 mg for 2 weeks, then 50 for 2 weeks, then why is it okay to then jump to 100? So, being the worrier that I am by nature, I'm splitting pills and taking 75 for a few days. That's probably doubly ridiculous since I took the stuff for years and never had a bad reaction.

Oh well, at least the medication isn't keeping me from being the real me--more cautious than anyone I know.

If that's all I can find to complain about things must be pretty good, huh?

I understand your concern, but I think it's fine to go to 100mg. The idea is that your blood level is accustomed to the Lamictal by now, so going from 50 to 100 is okay.
