I've probably written this before, if so please forgive me. The STEP-BD group I am working with have said they have had their greatest success with lamictal in the 200-400mg range (as monotherapy)in bipolar depression and stabilization for treatment resistant rapid cyclers. They are about to publish their findings. When I told the treating psychiatrist that I had a manic episode at 125mg- his response was I was not on a high enough dose. I am now on 100mg, still very depressed but agitated which we attributed to the risperdal I was taking. (Also on 5mg xanax and 6mg klonopin- you would think I'd be comatose). Anyway I am jumping at 25mg increments (no rashes but some dizziness- if that continues I'll drop to 12.5 increments. I hope all of you see some improvement soon. take care, judy
