I'm currently, and have been for some time, on prozac and wellbutrin. It does help with the depression but i still have these huge mood "swaps". Skyscraper highs and ocean trench lows that i couldn't stand anymore. I also have racing thoughts which make me feel out of control at times.
My doc put me on lamactil last week to try and stabilize these ups and downs and racing thoughts.
Has anyone else used lamactil for mood stabilization/racing thoughts? How quick can it kick in?
Thanks!

it takes a couple weeks...usally when people are put on Lamctal they start off at 25 and slowly by week 5 or 6 its moved to 200mg and that's when the effects should be noticed....its calms some overreactive electic firing on the mind...also can help with manic type symptoms, its used as an offlabel antidepressant in some cases like mine...
