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.

The only advice I can give you is to ask your doctor or your pharmacist. Only they will know what dosage of Lamictal you are taking, and what other medication you are thinking of taking. They are qualified to know what you should do. They can tell you if you can use any other medications and what can be taken with Lamictal.
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

Hi. I have Bipolar 1 and currently take 50 mg Seroquel and 200 mg Lamictal. I was just put on 10mg Celexa to help with unexpected depression. And I take Ativan sparingly if I feel anxious. They can be taken together, but I do not know about dosage. I think it's best if you check with your doctor. Good luck!
