1 yr on lamictal 150-225 mg.
Not one relapse into major depression since.
Struggled seriously for almost 2 yrs prior to
this.
Hasn't done wonders for the dysthymia, but
if you saw the list of meds I took prior you
would be horrified. Seems lamictal has a unique
quality treating these difficult fringe cases.
I am bipolar II with cyclothymia. Still tinkering
with add/ons to address the residual dysthymia.
I do have an occasional hypomanic episode. But
sometimes they are fun, until I dump back
into dysthymia. But seems many of these events
are triggered by life events so maybe that
is "normal" ;)Good luck,
