(i can't guarantee the validity of this info. )here is an exerpt on lamictal for depression:
"Depression - follow the guidelines for bipolar, but you may as well stop at 200mg a day. There's rarely a point in going above that amount. Again, as soon as you stop feeling depressed, hold at whatever dosage you're at. Even if it's just 25mg a day. You can wait to move up when symptoms return. A return of symptoms doesn't mean that the drug has stopped working. Hardly. You're always tweaking the dosage of anticonvulsants. That's the nature of them. You'll be going up and down on the dosage here and there all the time. This is way more complicated than rocket science."
