I started on a new mood stabilizer on Monday. Lamictal. Topamax totally pooped out. All I want to say is that today has been awesome. Beautiful weather where I live and no symptoms at all! I hope I stay this way. Been a long time since I've felt this good! Figured I would share something positive.

I am 25mg for 14 days, then 50mg per day after that. Then it's a med check where my PDoc will up the dosage. She says 100mg is where I should be, and most people get lots of relief from Lamictal at that dose.

Good for you, my friend!

I loves me some Lamictal. I'm on 400 mg right now. I was at 450 mg, but I was having short term memory issues and losing words. Watch out for that.

Glad you're feeling good. I hope it lasts a long time for you.
Thanks for this!
