In reply to Is Lamictal a mood stabilizer or de-stabilizer?, posted by theo on December 6, 2006, at 22:24:20
> I'm trying Lamictal again for the second time. Lately , for no reason I'll be happy and feel like bursting into tears within minutes. I'm trying it for depression but I think it's making me sad. I'm currently only at 50mg but feel that same pattern as last time. Increasing the dose, feeling good for a couple of days, then feeling like crap. Anyone out there experience this?
It's supposed to be a mood stabilizer and used for depression now too as well as for bipolar. I am on 100 mg. for depression, but like you I do not find it very helpful for depression. Maybe if I stopped I would feel otherwise, but like you I can be happy one moment and feel like I am going to burst into tears the next. I was not like this before I started Lamictal. I would like to get off of it myself, but one has to be careful in that regard.Karen44
