Same problem here, great results at first w/Lamictal at 25mg, basically the same respose at 100mg for awhile, then poopout. Going back down hasn't made a big differnce. What a drag--I was depression free for six months, a record. What about you? Cindy, any luck lowering your dose?

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!
