I was wondering if anyone else has found that the more they increase the dosage of Lamictal the less effective? I have been DX as possible BPII or III. I suffer from Major Depression and don't believe I have any mania.I have had some response from Prozac, a week of feeling great then crashed, initially no response to Effexor until Lithium was added and then felt great for four days and then majorly crashed. Tried Desipramine and couldn't handle the S/E's.Couldn't satnd the SE's of Lithium either.
I am now on Lamictal by itself. After about two weeks at 25mg felt FANTASTIC!! The nurses at the outpatient clinic were really concerned I was manic but my doc thinks I was just being back to me....I was feeling good most days but still had some down days. We have slowly increased the Lamictal to 50 MG and we are shooting for 100MG BUT I am feeling more down now than up. Has anyone else felt this way or can anyone explain to me what perhaps has happened?? Should I back off on doseage or keep at it? Thanks so much...
