In reply to Lamictal Info?, posted by Angielala on February 9, 2004, at 10:03:31
I started Lamictal a couple of weeks ago and am still at the 25 mg/day stage (about to move to 50 mg), so I'm hardly a veteran. I found that it caused a bit of restlessness/activation for the first couple of days (nothing unmanageable). Since then, it seems to have improved my mood and I'm a little mellower than I was before.
I take it with Klonopin and Adderall, which I've been on for quite a while. So far it seems like it has potential, and I haven't noticed any side effects other than the initial activation that I mentioned, which was very short-lived. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will help with the depression and feelings of being overwhelmed that have been creeping back.
The Klonopin and Adderall do a pretty good job there, but I need a little more stabilization, and so far Lamictal is encouraging -- I'll keep you posted.
