Linnette,
In my research on lamictal online, I remember reading that lamictal has an anti-depressant effect in the higher dosage. In fact one of our posters, I forgot her name, indicated she was on 400 mgs for three years and has had excellent lifting of depression with no side effects. Look through the recent posts on lamictal because I remember asking her if her doctor was going to increase her dosage and she said she was doing fine on 400mgs and did not know what the maximum dose for lamictal was.

> Did you notice a lifting of your depression at the 300 dosage, or before. I am into my 10th week, now at 200 and appear to be having poop- out, after noticing a definite lifting of my depression up until last week. I know I could increase, and have an appt with my pdoc on 12/2, but I guess it could also be that I am coming off of zoloft and nortriptyline.
