> Lamictal is still an enigma to me. It was great for a couple of months and then started to poop out. Now I take 50mg in the morning and it gives me a boost but then poops out in the afternoon. I was up to 600mg but it seems like 50mg works just as well as any higher dose. I've tried Prozac as augmentation which seemed to work for a while but then pooped out too. I'm thinking of trying another SSRI like Lexapro.

>Peter, thanks for relaying that info! I wonder also that Lamictal may have a fairly flat dose-response curve for bipolar. No need spending more money or your liver processing more medication than it has to. I wouldn't be surprised if I went up in 5mg increments every two weeks that 25mg would be sufficient.
