> Hi everyone,
> I am on 67.5 mg Nardil. I have sleep problems in that I wake up often during the night. I just started taking Ambien to help this. My pdoc also wonders if this due to remaining depression. She just added Lamictal, starting at 25 mg, with an initial goal of 75 mg. Anyone else take or have tried this combo?Yup. Nardil 90mg + Lamictal 300mg
> Anything I should watch out for with Lamictal?
Success.

I'm sure you know that the necessity for a gradual titration schedule is to help prevent the precipitation of a serious rash. Other than that, you have a good chance of feeling better if you are willing to go to dosages of 200mg and higher of Lamictal. You will very likely be surprised by a transient improvement at dosages as low as 25-50mg. However, it will be necessary to continue titrating upwards to recapture this antidepressant response.
Good luck, GG.
