I too take lamictal. I am on 200mg. weird thing though, my pharmacist pointed out, my birth control pill actually lowers the amount of lamictal my body absorbs. I talked to my psych doc about it an he didn't seem to think anything of it. nor did he inform me that if i stopped my bc pill it could double the amount of lamictal in my system. Then i spoke to my obgyn an he warned me of the same thing the pharmacist did. I heard i should have my blood tested to see how much lamictal i am actually getting in me, but again my psych doc doesnt seem to think it is a problem. I am tempted to go to my pcp an get my blood tested but i hate to step on my psych doc's toes. That an the psych doc says i am bi-polar when i think i fall more in to the borderline personality disorder catagory. once again, i dont know how to talk to my psych doc about this. Bottom line to the babble, Lamictal.. so far so good.
