Hi, I'm suffering from bipolar and dissociation disorder. I just started Lamictal to hopefully treat these disorders.
I started taking Lamictal over 2 months ago. I went up 25mg/week increments and then finally 50mg/10 days to get to 400mg. I was on 400mg for a few days when I had my check in with my psychiatrist.
I felt best at 250 mg and my psychiatrist told me to go down to 250 right away. I'm 11 days into it and I don't feel the effects that I felt before on 250mg.
It's honestly sort of devestating because I experienced significant relief at that dose and now I don't have it. I hate this waiting game where you try different things to see what works.
Does anyone have any experience with this scenario? Maybe since I jumped all the way from 400 to 250 my brain still has to calibrate itself to the lower dose?
Any advice or experience is appreciated.
