[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 137092, member: 1498"] The doctor (or his nurse) is, of course, wrong about the proper starting dose, even for a restart. My son was started on 75 mg a day when he was 14. He was on 200 by the end of two weeks. After that, any dose increases were at 100 mg at a time. I don't recommend it and realize now that the doctors were incompetent at worse and uninformed at best, but my son never had a problem. However, when he did toy with restarting Lamictal, he started taking 100 mg. We were reasonably confident that he wasn't going to have a Stevens-Johnson reaction, having taken 500 mg/day at one point, but we were vigilant about watching for it anyway. [/QUOTE]
