> Do you know if the serum level check is more common when lamotrigine is used for bp instead of as an adjunct to major depression?
I can't say - I'm diagnosed "Mood Disorders NOS", so not bp and not just depression, but the lamotrigine was used more as an augmentor for my antidepressant than as a mood stabilizer. My pdoc is a neuropsychiatrist and just happens to be pretty thorough.

> Did you stop taking lamotrigine? Stopped working? Or have you found the magic potion? ; )I stopped taking it for a while, then started again, but right now I'm only taking 25 mgs in the morning. And, believe it or not, I can tell a difference between taking that small dose and not taking any. I have yet to find any magic potion :( unfortunately, and thought the lamictal had stopped working, along with other things, but now I'm not so sure that was my problem...
