Hi.
My personal theory with Lamictal is that it acts to disinhibit dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens by inhibiting the release of glutamate in the thalamus.
You are suggesting that you experience a biphasic response to Lamictal. Do you feel that the depression itself is made worse by Lamictal at higher dosages, or is it that the cognitive side effects produced at the higher dosages reduce further your function and memory beyond that produced by the depression?
I don't know how to relate this to Seroquel
