Hi uncouth,

It took about 4 weeks to start to feel a decrease in anxiety and after 9 weeks the antidepressant effect really took shape like crazy. I have been on lamictal so long and it has brought me out of my depression out of prior years trying many medications so i was too nervous to give it up. I was on 100mg as my doctor didn't want me to raise to 150 as he had never used the drug before. I have tried to find the article stating how effective it is however it predicted it would not be a blockbuster as it takes so long to kick in but i cant find it. They hypothesized using ketamine at first until it kicked in. I remember being more motivated and feeling good however the combination of lamictal, which makes me slur anyway, made it difficult to talk and i got edema from it so the bags under my eyes turned me off as well. I don't want to deter you from trying it as i think the combo with lamictal caused the edema the speech impediment. Give it a good try i say. Hope it works for rover. Sorry for the grammatical errors as i am writing this on my phone.
