In reply to Lamictal, when will it ever work?, posted by tensor on November 5, 2006, at 6:15:00

> My fifth week with Lamictal, one week at 100mg. The only time i noticed any improvement was the two days after raising the dose from 50mg to 100mg(a week ago). Since that, no improvement at all. Currently it's like before i started Lamictal, no effect but no side effects either. My sex life is improved, but can't really enjoy that thanks to my depression, i have no energy.
> I'm wondering, since i got a little transient response going from 50 to 100mg, is this indicating that i need a higher dose? Is there any point to stay at 100mg, does it need more time etc.
> Currently i do not work, and haven't done so for appr. two months. I have feelings of guilt, my employer is wondering why i never recover. Last time i was away ill i did not work for seven months, which was a nightmare. My employer wonder if that's going to happen again.. sigh.
> I'm gonna call my pdoc tomorrow and i'm wondering if i should call for a higher dosage, 150 or 200mg. What do you think?

What else are you taking with it??? My results have become even more pronounced in the last few days as i have removed the SJW and rhodiola....dont no why this is maybe 1) too much serotonin or 2)sjw reducing blood levels of lamictal (as it has been found to have this effect on other drugs).

Stick l-theanine alongside it-thats whats working for me....100 mg 4 times a day should do the trick. Think this effect is explained by a study i found somewhere that lamictal increases the ad effects of the NMDA enatgonist ketamine. For this matter you should prob stick high dose chelated mag alongside it too?! you will prob no within a few days if your gona get results from this combo?!

Also dropping the caffeine (which increases glutamate) has helped me big time!!!

best wishes - let me no how u get on!!!!
