A member asked:
At what dosage does lamotrigine usually work as a mood stablizer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
200 mg daily: The typical dose of Lamotrigine (lamictal) for bipolar disorder maintenance therapy is 200 mg daily. Individual variability is always a factor, so lower doses may be effective and higher doses may be needed. This medication must be slowly uptitrated over the course of multiple weeks.
