I take Lamictal 75mg in the morning and 75mg at night and do not notice much variation during the day. Well, actually, I have a lot of variation during the day, but never thought to attribute it to meds wearing off.
Question for you guys: seems most people have found Lamictal to be pretty good overall as an antidepressant. What do you think of it's stabilizing properties? My p-doc wants to add lithium. I have not had anything but trouble with lithium in the past, but he thinks it has synergy with Lamictal and wants to do another trial. I'm remembering the 45 bad drug pounds that I blessedly am no longer carrying, the awful tremor lithium gives me, etc. Arrgh. Anyway, isn't Lamictal a stabilizer? I'm already on Topa low dose (75 mg/day) for some synergy. Your thoughts?
