I was just bumped up to 150 mg of Lamotrigine for mood stabilization; I do not take it for seizures. I know every one's body is different, but does there seem to be a consensus on which mg dosage works best for people? I have slowly been titrating the milligrams and it's almost been five weeks since I've started, but I don't feel like I feel any effects yet. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Lamotrigine - Is there a certain mg that works best for people taking this medication for mood?

Give it 2 months if you are not in dire straits. For mood some have good results with as low as 25, high as 400. This is really individual and you are the best judge. Watch for side effects that were most difficult; insomnia and headaches. Hope you have a good result.
