In reply to 600 mg Lamictal for depression + anxiety?, posted by oceansun on October 10, 2014, at 0:02:08
> I've been taking 400 mg of Lamictal for depression and anxiety for 4 months with good results, but have faced a personal setback. My doctor suggested raising it to 600 mg. Anyone here on 600 mg? I've not gotten any side effects from Lamictal except cognitive issues.
That's a rather high dosage but it is utilized for those with neurological disorders. I think lamotrigine is frequently underdosed at the 200mg. benchmark for bipolar disorder. If the 400mg. had benefit and your physician suggested 600mg.-- considering your circumstances require it, I don't see anything wrong with the 600mg. dosage.
But, watch out for aggrandized cognitive effects. Perhaps augmenting memantine with it to offset that would be good for things...
Follow the advise of your doctor.
