Thanks Ponder. Seems like Lamictal has been a *godsend* for many other posters as well. I guess it's just hard to wait (especially with Lamictal due to the slowwww dosage increase), at the same time sinking back into a worse depression. After trying so many other meds with no success, and not knowing if this one will work either. But I'm going to stick it out. My temporary solution (after talking with my pdoc): Add Li low dose back on until I reach *therapuetic* level of Lamictal. Hopefully that will provide some stability. But I'm not sure how we will determine what the *therapeutic* level is. My pdoc said *you will just know.* Hummm.
