> yes, you've mentioned that before. i must try to reduce it and suffer through the withdrawal period in order to test your theory, because i believe that my mood is bad simply because of my cognitive issues. i'm using 400 mg pills. is it too much to reduce it by 100 mg/day? What strategy did you use for withdrawal? on an unrelated note,do you use fish oil pills?
You could reduce the Lamictal by 50 mg every three or four days. I was able to tolerate that pace when I reduced from 450 mg. If you reduce too fast, it is very likely that you will experience a transient increase in depression.
For some odd reason, the fish oil preparations that I have tried made me feel worse. More recently, I tried Carlson's liquid. My guess is that DHA is the culprit. Omegabrite is pure EPA, and is sold as a treatment for depression. I would have no objections to trying it.
