mysippycup2 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 My pdoc prescribed lamictal yesterday because she changed my dx from MDD to bipolar II. I have been doing a lot of reading and it seems she is titrating me way too fast. she has prescribed 25mg twice a day for 5 days and then 50 mg twice a day after that. she also said that after 2 or 3 days if i havent noticed an improvement in my hypomanic symptoms she is ok with me increasing to the 50mg twice a day then. My question is - isnt this way too fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think it is different for everyone. The main thing I'd watch out for is any type of rash. Otherwise as long as you aren't totally out of it and it seems to be helping I think it is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna- Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 My ex-pdoc titrated me up 25mg every 4 days. He was a bit of a comboy. but it was uneventful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
