> My pdoc went on vacation and I lowered my dose from 1200 to 600 mgs and I don't feel like a zombie anymore, however, I am full of emotionality and tearfulness. Is this a sign of something?Oops! Silly me; sorry I didn't check this post. Check out my new one at the "bottom". Personally, although I mention it in my newer post, that 900 mgs (lithium) is a good dosage. Also, titrating up the lamictal is good, but to get a signifing amount of effect, at least 300 mgs is appropriate, raised in 25's about every 5 to 7 days. Be wary of side effects, especially a rash. Reduce it (at whatever dose you are on ) and see a dermatologist pronto!
All the best,
Man-oh-manP.S. Isn't it ironic that pdocs always seem to be having 'fun in the sun' while we need them the most :)
