[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 137075, member: 2423"] My kids started Lamictal at younger ages (11 and 12), but we too started low and titrated slowly. My daughter started at 12.5 mg for two weeks and then increased by 12.5 mg every two weeks. My son started at 25 mg for two weeks and then increased by 25 mg every two weeks. The family doctor may not know about the risk of rash decreasing with slow titration. I'd insist on a psychiatrist prescribing Lamictal for your son instead of relying on the family doctor. If you google Lamictal, you will find the prescribing information put out by the drug company that manufactures Lamictal. I would absolutely not have your son start at 100 mg BID until you research the matter more thoroughly. [/QUOTE]
