In reply to Any Success w/ Lamictal?? Worth a try??, posted by katrina on March 6, 2001, at 20:11:17
> Thanks for input on Lamictal. I am the BPII and/or cyclothymic. zyprexa had robust start but pooped out after 5 days. I am on 50mgs of zoloft. Any positive input would be great.
I've had a lot of success with lamictal. I also gained about 15 lbs on it--but less than 25% do.
I stopped the lamictal because of weight gain, tried about every other drug there is (to supplement nardil) and finally went back to lamictal because it had been such a horrible year.
Once again, I am not totally not depressed, but much much less depressed with the lamictal and have increased it, so maybe I will not be depressed at all. My pdoc said she's had a lot of success with it, you just have to build up slowly. I have unipolar depression. shelli
