> How many milligrams of lamictal do you take?
300 mgs, for seizures, which is a low dose.
I know that the antidepressant effects take place between 100mg and 200mg. Is there any benefits if I were to exceed 200mg?

GSK did not test above 200mg for the indication of bipolar and Lamical is off label for depression so
there is not strong evidence about the limits for effectiveness in depression.From what I read of other peoples experiences with lamictal and depression, 100-200 mgs is a common dose range. My experience is that lamictal started having an antidepressant effect at 25-50 mgs and did continue past 200 mgs.
Females may need to take more lamictal than males, female hormones effect lamictal levels.
