As everyone knows -all medications within individuals bodys results vary person to person .

I would still like some feedback on the average dose of Lamotrogine/Lamictal to control grand-mal seizures .

Thanks BAHAMAS :confused:

from what my friend has been on, it is around 400-600 mg as a usual adult dose, i think. Hope this helps....

Thanks kayakmom it has given me a good figure to work with . :)

i have been on lamictal since it was brought out on the medical market. (mid 1990's)My dose is 400mg a day. or 4 100mg tabs. i guess the average doseage woulbe some where between 400 to 800mg. this depends on the frequecy of the seizures. hope i helped

I use lamictal to control partial seizures...but I take 450 mgs a day.

my 25 year old daughter takes depakote and lamictal..125 mg. depakote and 75 mg. lamictal in the morning and night takes 250 mg. depakote and 100mg of lamictal @ night. Results have been great.....

Hi,

I've been in hospital for 6 months and have just come out.

I'm on Lamotrogine 200mg and Respiridone 4mg (it was 6mg but it got reduced). I tried to go back on Lithium but it didn't work and my face burst into acne. Then Sodium Valporate which I hated as it made me feel dead inside. And then Aripripozole which did nothing for me.

But I like the way Lamotrogine irons out my highs and lows. It's a bit like living in a rubber band.

Apart from some occasional blurry vision it works ok for me.

Making sense of madness

I am on 200mg daily. My doctor told me that it is the theraputic dose for bipolar and depression. It is working very well so far.

Sorry I missed this before.

For an adult I was on 800/day (400 AM and PM using the "blue" 200's) with two other meds. Needless to say the levels were below where they should have been, especially at that dose.

I can't quickly find my material, but I believe 1200 or 1400 is close to MAX dose. Been a long time since I was on it.

One tidbit on this medication is to watch out for skin breakouts (looks like a rash) commonly on neck, and on the elbows, wrists, and joints like that. IF THAT SHOWS it is a big red flag to call your Dr... you may have to get off the med. Wearing non tight clothing also may help.
