In reply to Lamictal Higher dose causing anger and depression, posted by Quietly_Existing on February 15, 2014, at 13:55:47
Are you taking brand or generic Lamical? If generic which maker?
I take Lamictal and sadly there's a large difference between the brands. I'd highly recommend either the brand or Teva generic. If you search here you'll find that a lot of the generic lamictal brands are not as effective (or cause other reactions) than the brand. Personally I actually think I respond best to the Teva generic even including the brand. I was on brand for years, forced to switch to Teva generic when it came on the market, went back to brand when I was able to get my insurance to ok it, and just recently I had to switch back after changing insurance cos again. For me the Teva works the best.....can't say it's the most potent or what but I just seem to respond to it best.
Lamictal makes me tired too at ~150mg. I take an MAOI for depression as well so over the years I've found 100mg is a good enough dose for me.
