But, 200mg is fine. Just chills me out a bit (well, I'm on a lot of sedatives, so of course I'm chilled out for the most part. Lol).
I'm sorry Blue. I don't even know where I'm going with this!
Stay on 300mg if it's working for you. Will your psychiatrist be fine with that? |
Thanks! Yeah when I first started Lamictal back in May I remember forgetting basic words to things , like for the life of me I couldn’t remember the word spatula when I was cooking. Just basic memory lapses. Yeah I think he’ll be okay with that as long as I’m doing well. He’s very easy to talk to and knows I know myself best so if I feel like I’m doing well on the 300mg I’m sure he’ll be okay with letting me stay at that dose. The only side effects I’ve had is some tiredness. The forgetting words to things has mostly gone away though it still occasionally happens it’s not often anymore. So I’m tolerating it well. I figure there’s no reason to up the dose if this is working fine
