Question:
Need you guys advise! Is 450ml of lamictal a day a lot? Any adverse reactions you know of?
Bi-polar issues. I know most of you will say ask your doctor or pharmasist but I want to hear what you guys have to say! Those of us who take these meds are the ones that often times report to them what the "adverse reactions" are on a mental level not necessarily on the physical level. I know they will know if it's going to make your head explode or something like that! lol Any personal experiences/advise would be great!
Thank you all and have a great day!
Answers:
If your doc STARTED you on 450 ml/day of Lamictal, you need to seriously consider firing him and finding a new doctor who is more aware of the potential dangers associated with starting Lamictal at this high a dose.
You should ALWAYS ramp up this med (start with a VERY low dose, and increase SLOWLY). One pretty significant "adverse event" you will want to be aware of includes death as result of a SEVERE rash called Stevens-Johnson syndrome (particularly if you are starting at this high a dose straight out of the chute).

Be VERY vigilant when taking this medication. Your life could (quite literally) depend on it.
