Good Morning All,

The Neuro has my 5 year old daughter on the following ramp up schedule for
Tamictal to treat her Absence Seizures:

Week 1 - 5mg a day
Week 2 - 10 mg a day
Week 3 - 12.5mg a day
Week 4 - 25mg a day
Week 5 - 50mg a day
Week 6 - 75mg a day

Any opinion if this would be considered a normal ramp up cycle? A slow ramp
up or faster then most?

Thanks,

Zeeke

Oops...hit send before I was ready....WRAAA!!!

My son was put on a 2 week interval between increases and he is finishing
the end of his ramp up period at 40mg in the morning and 40 mg at night.
Keep in mind that Lamictal is a secondary med for him...not a primary.

g'day zeeke,
sounds pretty right to me. i took eight weeks to get to my optimal dosage.by
the way, i found that it took several weeks after reaching my optimal dosage
for my body to adjust to the medication and for it to work to its' full
potential, so try to be patient.
