>This is my third time to try lamictal
Its my second.
>but every time I get to a certain point, I feel more depressed and fatigued.
This has happened to me too, in a similar way. At first I feel an 'ok' antidepressant response. Also my sleep doesn't improve, but I need less of it which I think helps the antidepressant effect. Overtime, and its been afew weeks, my mood remains stable in some respects, however I begin to flat and slowly the antidepressant effects where off.
>I am up to 125mg now.
I'm using 12.5mg, soon to be 6.25mg and then then nothing. :-(
If my mood feels little differnece from using nothing, i'm not going to continue with Lamictal, if theres the slightest chance it was better with the drug, i'll use it again in very low dosages. Anything above 25mg for me clearly doesn't help, strangely enough it is a very low dosage but I know of others who use a very small dosage too.
Like me, you may find smaller dosages will bring more benefits compared to lower ones, but obviously everyone is different etc.
