Hey all,

I was previously taking 1,500mg Depakote alongside 60mg Prozac. I stopped the Depakote a week and a half ago and started at 25mg Lamotrigine last monday (still taking the Prozac). My doctor said to take 25mg for 1 week then 50mg for 1 week then 100mg and we'd go from there.

My question is this, is it ok to go from 25mg to 50mg after a week? From what I've read, most people stay on 25mg for 2 weeks?

Thanks,
Karen.

Some doctors are okay with a one week.

My Doctor was one for 2 week increases.

Just call tomorrow and verify the instructions
