In reply to Lamictal causing depression?, posted by Whit_in_Texas on March 30, 2006, at 7:32:01
I took 100mg lamictal for about 6 months. Not much effect really, other than some general dulling effects. I did feel some increase of depression with each dose increase, which then settled after a few days. But when I tried to go from 100mg to 125mg, depression got a lot worse. I said forget it. Tapered off.
I hate it when docs say "therapeutic dose". Therapeutic dose for who? Someone else? All I care about is MY therapeutic dose, which is probably dramatically lower or higher than the general population. I'm not a statistic ya know?
Anyway, yeah, lamictal was generally depressing for me.
