Just wanted to share my experiences. I found I needed to start lamictal at a very low dose (6.25mg) and take it at night. Higher doses felt like a bad acid trip.
Anyway, stayed at 6.25 for a week, then up to 12.5 for a week. About 1/2 way through the first week and through 2nd week I was hit with paralyzing depression, probably some of the worst I've been through.
3 days ago I upped dose to 25mg (12.5 in morning and evening) and at end of first day depression totally lifted and has stayed that way (only day 3 at this dose, but I'll take it!). Mood seems to be stable as well.
Makes me wonder if they start people out at way to high a dose of this med...
