Thanks Lawrence S, I hope you are feeling better soon too! Lamictal does give me a calm feeling-for now, but I'm BPII and tend to cycle-bad.
May I ask what meds you are on? Do you have a diagnosis?
Hang in there:-)
Thanks again, Kristen
==================================================================================================Krissy, I'm sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. You are not alone. I had a similar experience when I tried lamictal. I got up to 50mg slowly after about a month. They say lamictal has an antideppresant effect. I did not experience that, however I did have a outstanding calm feeling when taking it. The calm later turned into a lack of feeling of pleasure, or anhedonia. Then my mood would swing from blah to real bad. After about a month and a half I had to stop. I don't know if this helps you or makes you feel worse. I stopped the L. and am back to being my same old dysthymic, anxious self. Hope your feeling better soon.
Lawrence S.
