Have you ever tried to push the lamcital dose higher? For most people, a therapeutic response starts at 100-200mg. I have a soft bipolar II. I take effexor and lamictal 200mg. I don't think the low dose of klonopin and trazadone are interfering with the Agomelatine. What is the reccomended dose range and how much do you take?
