My pdoc told me that lamictal takes around 2-3 weeks to start working. Everyone is different though. I felt a difference the first day that I took it, but I knew that I needed to increase my dosage bc 25 mg is an low dose. It takes so long to work because the titration is slow. I am taking 4 mg of risperdal, but I am thinking about switching to abilify since it is a unique atypical. It doesn't completely block your dopamine, and I could use some dopamine. I too had more depression than mania. Hopefully the lamictal will do its job at helping me maintain.
