Hmrz Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 My DS11 has been on low dose of lamictal for over a year. We are raising the dose to help give him extra support that is needed. He went from 25mg twice daily to 25mg morning and 50mg evening. After raising the dose we noticed extra impulsiveness depression anger and aggression. His docs said that was not likely a reaction to lamictal so we rode it out. He did seem to even out after around 10 days . Yesterday I raised the dose to 50mg morning and 50mg evening. About an hour/ hour and a half into his morning dose I saw a increase in intrusive thoughts and edgy behaviors.has anyone else seen this or noticed a dramatic reaction so quickly with lamictal?

MomWithOCDSon Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Our DS did not have that reaction to lamictal or dosage changes, though he did experience some "valleys" as the dosage was wearing off during the day. We eventually went to the XR version, which he took just once each day, and that seemed to serve him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
