[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 319703, member: 2423"] I have no experience with adults and Lamictal, but I have THREE kids who take it, including a 16-year-old who takes 400 mg. All three kids have had zero side effects. No weight gain. No spaciness. Lamictal has helped tremendously with depression and emotional reactivity. Because we were dealing with kids, we actually increased more slowly than the manufacturer recommended: 12.5 mg every two weeks up until 100 mg, then 25 mg every two weeks. Even now that my daughter A is over 200 mg, we still increase in 25 mg increments when we make a dose adjustment. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
