Guest Erin Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi everyone. I just recently increased my Lamictal dosage from 100mg to 200mg. Any idea when I'll feel a difference? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneMarie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 What type of response are you seeking? Antidepressant, antimanic, mixed state stabilizer, etc? That can influence response time. Generally speaking, efficacy can be within days or weeks. It depends on your individual body's response to the med. I use it as an antidepressant and usually feel the change in a week or two. Side effects, if they are going to occur, will probably happen shortly after and hopefully abate over time. People rarely have side effects crop up months later, but it does happen. The more important thing is that Lamictal causes the least of the anticonvulsants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi! Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for an antidepressant effect and a decrease in irritability. I'm on 100mg and haven't experienced any major depression or mania. I'm just experiencing a sort of chronic low mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I went to 200mg from 150mg fairly recently and I would say it took a week or so for me to notice the difference (no change to mood, which was fine, but my focus and organization has increased.
