hey i'm on 75mg of Lamictal. I just got a partial seizure. My case is minor, so i'm going to ask my doctor to up it to 100mg. Is anyone else on a 100mg dosage?

Hi

I didn't think Lamictal was effective until it reached 200 mg, that was what my neuro told me but I guess it is different for everyone.  It didn't start working for me until I took 400mg. the good thing is I have not had any side effets with it.  Good luck with finding the right doseage for you  :)

I take 600 per day and another 3000 of Keppra and seems to keep the TC's under control pretty well. Right now, I'm taking Klonopin for my simple partials. Doug
