You can only find the right dose if you try all of them, slowly, one by one, until you hit on the one that is right for you. IOW you have to be careful and patient and you have to monitor your reactions and note them down if necessary...
Good luck, Lamictal might still have good things in store for you. I hope so. I may be taking the Lamictal route myself in the near future. I hope to take my own advice when the time comes...after I have tried it out on someone else, lol.
