my 11 yo daughter with bp took 150mg total a day. she was 5'3" and 130lbs. she's been able to lower it recently to only 25mg twice a day. lamtical is a good mood stabilizer (also used for seizures) but it has antidepressant properties in it. typical anti-depressants ssris cause my daughter to go manic. this helps her depression a great deal. talk with your doctor but it does seem like you could go up if it isn't helping you.
what is the typical adult dosage of lamictal (lamotrigine) for bipolar depression? . i am a 25 yr old woman and weigh about 105lbs. i am currently on 40mg (2x 20mg/day) of lexapro and have recently titrated up to 200mg of lamotrigine. i have been diagnosed with anxiety and manic depression. lexapro did not have as much effect on me compared to when i first started taking it. this then led to me being prescribed lamotrigine. is this combination effective in treating my disorders? am i on too much? are there any other medications that are known to be effective? . thank you.
