I've been on Lamictal about six months. I hate it and want off. It's made my behavior nothing but chaos ever since. My moods have been so erratic, I can't take it anymore! I emailed my pdoc about the headaches I've been having lately and she wrote back saying I can go back down to 200mgs. I just want to completely taper off because it's too much. What's a typical schedule to come down? The last bump up to 300mgs she had me do 250 for 7 days then up to 300mgs. I'm wondering if 50mgs every seven days is ok, or is that too fast? Or maybe 50mgs every 14 days might work? I'm going to write her eventually, but she seems to be a bit lackadaisical sometimes and not to quick to reply. Plus that's extra money in my pocket every month!

You should talk to your doctor about how to do it safely! Backlash from reducing lamictal too much too soon can be a nightmare.
