I've been taking lamotrigine for about a year now. I've slowly been increasing the dose which is triggered when I start to feel depressed again and little things start to bother me. Seems like each 100 mg increase lasts about 3 or 4 months. I don't feel like I am up to my maintenance dose yet. In my long history of drug taking (all legal prescriptions), I have always needed the upper dosage limit for the drug to work for me. So, after 3 or so months at 300, I'm going to call the doc and ask to go to 400. One reason the 300 isn't working as good, is that I have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, so that's kind of a downer. Luckily it was caught real early and isn't agressive, but it's still kinda scary. So, it will be 400 lamotrigine and 450 bupropion. (I'm always afraid the sawbones is going to say no).
