I am taking 200 mg of Lamictal 2x/day. It was the forth medication that I took before my seizures were controlled. I have not had a seizure in nearly 10 years. My doctor does not recommend the generic. I am lucky to have insurance that pays all but $27 per month. If the cost Lamictal remains high and I am not able to continue my current insurance, I may at some point need to change to generic.

400mgs total as any dose of meds I belive is actually a low dose, your blessed! I'm on a total dose of 400mg of meds, 200mgs Topamax 200mg Lamictal, as of right now. In the past though it was much higher. By the way a quick question for ya, how are the side effects for you? There's not the agression I had with the keppra, but some what an annoyance being a summer girl, the prickling from the sun, but this side effect is way more handleable compaired to the other.
