fayerody, are you referring to 25 mg pills? Like you're supposed to take 12.5 mg for 3 days and then take 25 mg for 27 days? if so I've never heard of that. My doc started me on 25 mg and said I could go up by 25 mg each week till I was at 100. He said that after that we'd have to talk about things. But I have noticed a difference with the lamictal. What scared you about it? Was it the possible rash?
