Trig Who is the pdoc? me or her? And why the rush?!

I got a call from my pdoc's RN today. I have been on the Lamictal 50mg for at least three weeks now. She called to tell me that I can take 100mg. When I heard her say that I asked her if she knew that I was only taking 50mg. And she said yes, and that I need to now take 100mg. Now I am not the professional here but common sense kind of tells me not to jump from 50 mg to another 50mg in one sitting. So I told the RN ABSOLUTELY NOT! I told her to prescribe me all 25 mgs and I am willing to take 75mg for three weeks so I am not jumping too quickly up the ladder. The nurse then had to call me back because she had to tell my pdoc I said no to 100mg. I got the call back and the pdoc agreed to let me have my way.

But still what is she trying to do???? Why the rush?? Does she have any idea how the meds can effect someone like me? She has to be out of her head to make me jump so quickly! I am not ready for that! Grrr roar!
