The absolute smallest dose possible, then ramp up very very slowly. Starting at too high a dose can trigger a potentially fatal rash called Stephen-Johnson's Syndromein which the skin falls off in sheets in some people. If a rash appears at any time while taking Lamictal contact the prescribing doctor instantly and he will refer you to a dermatologist for evaluation. If it is a Stephen-Johnson's Syndrome rash, the drug must be totally discontinued immediately.

Can you take lamictal with Valium?
When Taking Lamictal For Bipolar Depression It Is Not Uncommon For A Person To Be Given A Small Dosage Of Prozac Or Other Antidepressents. The Dosage Of Prozac Most Always, When Given The Working Dosage Of Lamictal, Will Be Given In A Small Dosage 10 mg or 20 mg per day. I Strongly Recommend You Discuss This With Your Psychiatrist. The Reason For Giving a Small Dosage Is To Keep You From Going Manic. GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK
