lamictal - switch from BID to once daily?

Posted by tendency on September 27, 2004, at 17:10:04

Currently at 125mg BID. Not working so great. Does it make sense to switch to once daily? If so, should I take it morning or night? Thanks all -

I take it all at night. Three different docs told me to take it at bedtime.

I take 300 mg. currently, 150 in the morning an 150 at night. I think that's too much, so when I go to the doc tomorrow I'm going to tell her to drop me down to 200 total.

I had been taking 175mg. for almost 2 years with much success but relapsed into major depression after a drug and alcohol binge this past summer. Stupid, but oh well.

Presently at 300mg I get quite a boost after I take it, but on some days I crash a couple hours later into bad depression. Also at night I have really messed up vivid dreams.

Good luck on the 150 mg. and I advise to stay far away from drugs or alcohol.
