In reply to Lamictal worked great, pooped out, now what?, posted by jaby on January 14, 2002, at 14:13:17
Jaby,
With the Lamictal, what dose did you start at? several people on this board (including me) seemed to feel much better at the very low doses of Lamcital, even though my pdoc says you need to get up to 100 mg to get a "therapeutic dose."A few people (including myself) believed that we felt the best early on in the treatment at a mere 12.5 or 25 mg. I am currently reducing my dosage -- went from 100 to 75 mg over the past few days and do seem to feel better.
Are you still on the Lamictal? Perhaps reducing the dose slowly until you feel better could help?
take care, cindy
> After dealing with anxiety/depression/fibromyalgia for 5 years now, I was throw absolutely back to my normal healthy self for the first 3 days I used lamictal. I was cured! Since then I had tried to chase that experience uping the dose as directed, but never found it again-only side effects. I have used all of the SSRI's, effexor, remeron, trilpetal, trazadone, welbutrin (maybe a few more). I currently take 2600 mg. neurontin, 2.5 mg valium. Anyone have any ideas? All input is much appreciated!
