I'm taking lamictal for depression with suspected mood stability. I also have frequent poop outs on these newer drugs. I'm on 375 mgs and don't notice any difference. I just wrote a fairly detailed synthesis for one of my classes yesterday and no brain fog. I never ran into rash problems either.
> Thanks. Allegedly I don't have bipolar. I'm supposed to be taking it for unipolar depression that keeps coming back no matter what medications I'm on. At the moment the goal is to see if lamictal is effective in combination with buproprion xl so I can dump the cymbalta. I blame the cymbalta for my uncontrollable sweats. And I think it's raising my heart rate a few beats per minute, which I don't need.

> When I'm depressed I'm irritable and quick to anger. Also I'm drained of energy and feel hopeless. Doesn't that sound like fun? Don't I sound like a fun person to be around?
