Hey-
Dx is Bi-polar.
Dose right now is 350. I know, it sounds high but I'm on 1000 mg Tegretol/day and apparently the Teg can (I can't remember what my pdoc said exactly) decrease the effectiveness of the Lamictal. I wasn't getting any better at lower doses (even after weeks of waiting-argh!) so he's ramping it up...thinks it was a subtherapeutic dose for me.I've been on it for probably 2 and a half months...have just started to notice a real difference in the depression (haven't been manic since I started Teg long ago...)since I started with 350 Lamictal.
Also take .075 Synthroid. Of all antidepressants for now...doc thinks they've been increasing my cycling...
Good luck!
Kar
