I am SLOWLY getting into my Lamictal, only on 50mg in the 4th week. My pdoc told me today that she thinks 150mg is the place for me, but I'm noticing that most people are taking much more. I just finished my taper of Effexor, which although I super happy to be off of, the "discontinuation syndrome" is horrible.
Maybe it's just as much withdraw as it is the depression rearing its ugly head since I don't have enough Lamictal in my system yet... I am BPI with severe depressions. I've gone through my share of ADs, until we finally figured it out (I don't have a therapist, just go to my pdoc every 8 weeks).
Is anyone else in this boat? Will the Lamictal be enough to counteract the depression?
