> I feel your pain, I'm at 150mg and have had the exact same issues you described. I've only been going up 25mg a week and was feeling good a few days after a dose increase at 75mg and 100mg. I've only been on 150mg for a couple of days but whats scaring me is I haven't had that initial feel good after a dose increase past 100mg, which makes me wonder if going any higher will make any difference.
I recommend that you:1. Push the dosage of Lamictal to a minimum of 200mg.
2. Continue to push your doctor into adding an antidepressant if you don't experience sustained relief.
3. Be patient. (Easier said than done)!
