I have taken Lamictal for over 10 years. For a long time 250mg daily. I do have days when I wonder if it is doing anything at all. ADs are far better at preventing depression than curing it. I know from painful experience not to go off meds when I suspect they may not be doing anything. I will say that when I added Deplin to my Lamictal several years back, I had to cut my Lamictal dose in half because I found Deplin so activating. So I take 7.5 Deplin and 100mg Lamical with enough fish oil to get 1000mg of DHA. Thats my daily regimen. That is just one loan person's experience. I'd say I am 80 percent depression free at least three weeks a month. I get weird and feel some sort of nameless pressure now and then. But, compared to decades of persistent mental anguish that is very damn good.
