A member asked:
Have bipolar ii. dr. increased dose of lamictal from 200 mg to 300 mg. is 300 mg considered high dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: In adults on no other meds, 300 mg is not a high dose when used to treat seizures. However, in bipolar disorder doses over 200 mg have not shown significant incremental benefit.
