> I started on Lamictal in early June for ongoing depression/anxiety. I am up to 100mgs a day.Does this med even work for depression/anxiety. I went through the bad stress of a separation in early July but I would have expected Lamictal to have had some therapeutic effect by now. They say that the target dose for depression is maybe 200 mgs, but I am already starting to get some cognitive blunting and many people supposedly do well at 100mgs so whats up. I have taken Wellbutrin 400mgs SR a day for many months and em up to 4 mgs of Xanax a day at least to get through this more current separation debacle. Does Lamictal give you a significant therapeutic effect at all. Like to hear some good experiences.
I have been on Lamictal 300mg per day for many months. I suffer from depression & anxiety, social phobia, and severe mood swings. The dr thought Lamictal may help towards my mood swings, thinking maybe it was a mild case of bipolar. But the Lamictal did nothing for my mood swings.
