Lamictal works really well for me at 100mg. At 125 I felt like a zombie though
It’s all so personal - I metabolize drugs quickly, so I’m on 300mg of Lamictal.
While finding out your dose did you ever get songs playing in your head absolutely non stop? Around 125-150 I seriously had my own personal radio station going on 24/7. I then looked on Reddit and it is supposedly a thing
Hmmm, I honestly don’t remember, it’s been a while. But I am familiar with the feeling of having a radio station in my head, so it may very well be related.
I’m on 175mg/day and get ‘earworm’ at least a few times a week, it’s interesting to find out it might be related!
When i was on 150 i had it constantly. Its weird how lamictal causes it
I’m at 100mg now curious if 200mg can make things even better for me. I hear different stories of people staying at 100 and others saying 200 is the best therapeutic level. 100mg has calmed my anger outbursts so much.
Yeah everyone is different. I feel like once you reach 100 and you want to go up you need to take it slow because a little jump can change a lot
