Hi.

> One question I had a few weeks ago that I wanted to ask you is that I saw you listed that you were taking 300mg of Lamictal. I always remember you saying 200 was the best for you and any more started to cause cognitive problems.
I found that I needed 300 mg/day of Lamictal to get the most out of it. When I increased from 200 mg/day to 300 mg/day, I didn't think that I had an increase in cognitive impairments. It is hard to know, though. Things can creep up on you.
I am sad that Teva is no longer making lamotrigine. I found it to be somewhat less effective than Lamictal, but Mylan was much worse.
My depression is bad. I barely take care of myself. My money situation is getting worse. My mother looks like she is developing Alzheimer's Dementia, and I don't know who is going to take care of her. I don't have much drive or energy to get up off the couch. Winter is here, and I am too weak to shovel snow to get my car on the road. I worry about how I will live out my life in a nursing home. There is a lot more.
