I was recently put on lamictal. I'm supposed to gradually increase the number of pills Im supposed to take. Week 1 just one pill. And by week 4, 4 pills.
My question is do I take all the pills at once? (In the morning) Or do I space them out like I do with my lithium? The pills are 25mg

My pdoc told me as long as you are taking less than 200mg you can take it all at once, but I'd double check and make sure yours doesn't want you to do something else.

I'm currently doing the same thing. Week 1 was one 25mg pill. Now I'm on week 2 and I'm taking two pills at once, with my lithium (one 300mg pill). Next week I'll take three lamictal pills at once.

I took mine all at once up until I was at 400 mg total. That I decided to take one 200 in the morning and one in the evening. The pdoc said I could do it either way. I may try taking both in the morning at some point.

Do you people find that lamictal works and cuts down on bp cycling?
