[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 148315, member: 59"] My difficult child takes 300 mg. We had been splitting the dose AM and PM but she was forgetting it too many times in the PM due to other activities/sleepovers, so the dr changed it to one dose in the AM. At her next medication visit I'm going to ask about weaning her down to 200 because we lost our prescription drug covereage in our health insurance plan and lamictal does not come in a 300mg dose so we have to get 60 pills of 150 mg and the cost is prohibitive. Even for 30 pills of 200 mg we will be paying about $200 a month. Lamictal has worked well for difficult child. Her psychiatrist explain ed that they call it the peel away drug because they often find it works so well that they can begin peeling away some of the other medications. I hope you have success with it. The one thing I will caution you about is that it begins to melt as soon as you put it in your mouth so my difficult child puts it way in the back of her throat, otherwise as soon as she takes a drink it melts and it's hard to swallow.
