> Fifth day on Lamictal 200mg, my depression is getting worse and have increased anxiety and I have developed panic attacks. Anyone know if Lamictal is causing this, or suggestions what to do?

> /MattiasDo you think a more gradual increase to 200 mg might be better? Say 100 mg then 125 mg for a week or ten days or two weeks? You seem to be ultra sensitive around the 200 mg mark. Your ideal dose might be 150 mg but by going from 100 mg directly to 200 mg you have leapfrogged 150 mg. Then again your ideal dose for Lamictal might be 125 mg? You will only find out by increasing very gradually with patience. Take this all with a dose of salt because I don't really know what I am talking about as I have never taken Lamictal, but there again neither have most doctors.
