I am BPII and was started on Lamictal three months ago. My Pdoc has been increasing the dose very slowly. I started at 25mgs and have increased by 25mg's every two weeks. My target dose is 200mg's which I will reach in two weeks. I experienced a lot of anxiety after each increase but that would go away. I didn't notice much difference until I reach 175mgs. Now I am feeling my better, less depressed and much more leveled out. I would advise you to go very slowly and give it a chance to work. If it just isn't working be sure to talk to your doctor about this.
But, my experience at the dose of 175mg's has been a very positive one. Hang in there.
