When does lamictal start working?

It takes a while. First of all, the dose has to be slowly tapered up when you start, because there is an odd side-effect of getting a dangerous rash if you jump straight up to a therapeutic dose. But once you’re past the first month or two, this isn’t really a risk anymore. You just have to be careful when you start taking it. So, once you’re up to a full dose, which may take a month, it may take another 2-4 weeks for you to start seeing the effects. So, you have to be a bit patient. Lile, if you don’t know, don’t answer. Lamictal is an ANTI-CONVULSANT, not an anti-psychotic. And if you start taking the full dose all it once you could seriously hurt yourself.

Lamictal is an antisychotic and starts to work within a day or two unlike antidepressants which can take as much as a month.

When you start to throw up, you’ll know it’s in your system. Oh man, get another drug. Even if you don’t puke, you’ll soon see how lame that drug it. Ask for Seroquel, or even Neurontin.
