"i&#039;ve been on lamictal for about a month now. i started on 50mg, 2nd week 75mg, and 3rd week 100mg at night. 1st 2 days in on 50 i felt borderline aggressive and very irritable. this evened out on the 3rd day and i began to feel very motivated and able to think clearly. i still experienced a few depressive episodes, but i hope to get onto an antidepressant once my dose is high enough. i&#039;ve began taking 25mg in the am to slowly move up to 100 in the am on top of my 100 at night. since i have, my memory, attention, and anxiety have worsened and other side effects have been sweating, raised heart rate, some trouble sleeping, and slight photo-sensitivity. most of these have subsided as i adjust so overall it&#039;s best to stick with it for a bit."
