> Hey Jess care to tell us how the Lamictal has been treating you?So far no problems at all. I'm only on 150mg which isn't very high at all. The primary reason for this is since insurance only covers 50% (and it's quite expensive) I'm still waiting for the patient assistant program kick in. I'm kind of hoarding the pills I do have.
I can't really tell if it's making a difference in my mood. I have tapered down to 60mg of Parnate (from 100mg) very slowly and think I'm still doing okay. It's always a little hard to tell since I have regular ups and downs but never know what's normal and what's depression. I've so rarely been "normal" in my life! I wait about three weeks before I reduce the Parnate by 10mg and try to really evaluate my mood before I do.
I'm hoping to start therapy again soon and hopefully she can help me evaluate my moods a bit more.
Thanks for asking,
Jessica
