Hi Smith,

Just thought I'd chime in here with my past Lamictal experiences; so many people end up fruitlessly dose-chasing (as I did for two years),in my case going right up to 600mg.
I have rapid-cycling bipolar11 with severe depression, and I found that it provided me with very quick relief, before fading eventually.
To cut a long story short, I now believe it provoked more mood-cycles due to it's being at least as much of an AD as a mood-stabilizer.
Some need more stability to accompany it(I've just added a small dose to my Trileptal mainstay), and others may need an additional antidepressant, depending on your individual diagnosis.
It's a superb med. overall, but most people seem to need something to accompany it, sooner or later.


Good luck,

Col.
