25 mg is still such a small dose of Lamictal. You are taking the ramp-up pack, right? It wasn't until about 100 mg that I began to feel the stability I was looking for.
Stopping, starting, or switching meds always gives me at least a minor manic episode. I don't know if you are BP or if this is the way your BP manifests itself, but could you be feeling this effect?
If possible, I suggest you give it a little while longer. However, please know that I am very biased toward Lamictal because of the great results I have had.
Each person has such a different experience with these drugs. I can't take SNRIs at all, they make me a paranoid, anxious mole who can't leave the house. But so many people are helped by them...
Good luck to you.
