I like the way that Lamictal works but it seems to have this irritability component to it that I really don't like. I've been titrating very slowly; I started at 12mg for almost 3 weeks, then started moving up to 18mg for 6 days with only minor increase in irritability, then after 3 days at 25 mg, my irritability and difficulty going to sleep increased considerably. I'm also taking 600mg of lithium to balance me out.
Any ideas on how to deal with this irritability?
Colin, what was your titration plan?
This is a very good med but unfortunately like all meds it's got side affects!John
