In reply to Starting Lamictal, Anything Positive about it?, posted by theo on June 19, 2004, at 8:06:13
My pdoc added Lamictal to my cocktail (Lexapro 20, Zyprexa 2.5) because I was extremely fatigued and irritable all the time. I have atypical depression and OCD. I've slowly titrated the Lamictal up to 100 mg, experiencing some agitation for a few days after each increase.
I've been at 100 for 3 weeks now, and I feel great. No longer fatigued, have energy to exercise when I get home from work, not as irritable. The only problem is that it has exacerbared my OCD symptoms (intrusive thoughts, constant checking and re-checking of my "to-do" lists). I also am having problems falling asleep, but right now the trade off is well worth it! Hope this helps..
