In reply to what about lamictal?, posted by Jeroen on March 13, 2007, at 18:10:56
I take 100 mg of Lamictal for the depression side of my Bipolar. You need to start small, like 12.5 mg and work your way up slowly to a good dosage of 100 mg or more to avoid the rash.
When I first was put on it I only used a benzo in addition and I felt almost immediately better. Euphoric would be the word. I started writing songs again and felt 'high'. I unfortunately hit the hypomania wall with feelings of fear and anxiety. I had to be put on Zyprexa which I'm now going to go off of. I remained on the Lamictal and believe that it has kept me from sinking into the dark depression I used to have.
