Hey friends,

I was recently put in Lamictal and just got my does upped to 50mg.

My doctor instructed me to take 25mg “after breakfast” and 25mg “after dinnner”. And he made a point of saying it doesn’t need to be 12 hours just whenever I eat breakfast and whenever I eat dinner. And I clarified with him “I eat breakfast around 10am and dinner around 6pm is that okay?” And he said yes.

But that also means the time varies because sometimes I eat breakfast earlier or later and dinner earlier or later. I was wondering if any of your doctors have given similar instructions? 

It just feels weird to not be taking them at the exact same time each day and not spreading them out 12 hours. I trust my doctor but I am just curious to see if this is typical with Lamictal. 

Thanks!
