I got diagnosed finally (after over 4 years of pursuing this) a few weeks ago, and the increase to 100mg lamotrigine this week hit hard. Felt pretty "disco elysium" saturday. Giving it time, but had to put stuff on hold again.
Wow, I got diagnosed a four weeks ago and I'm only on 25mg of lacmical. Good luck!
I started at 25mg 2 weeks, went to 50mg 2 weeks, now 100mg. It's faster than most people, for sure, but should be titrated enough to avoid SJS. I would not recommend starting at 100mg lmao. thanks ^^
