Tucker63 0 Posted September 30, 2020 Does anyone have any postive reviews of lamictal? I have been on several meds thoughout the years with very little luck. I have dysthymia, borderline, ptsd. The antidepressants I have tried have worked then stopped and or everything went into a numb zombie like mood. I am currently off of all my old meds and currently started lamictal. So far so good, I don't sleep well, but my mood is overall better. I'd love to hear some postives about this med I have been on 25 mg at night for 14 days, and tonight I start 2 tablets.. Thanks in advance, Tucker 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tucker63 0 Posted October 2, 2020 I started on the 50 mg after the 14 day start on 25, so far I am very happy with the results. Dreams are pretty vivid real, but I can live with it. Sleep isn't 100% yet, but it's worth it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthew emery 1 Posted October 4, 2020 as you titrate up it gets more effective...I take it with Wellbutrin and the combo works well....I know this is not what the forum is really about but listening to Christian music(first time in my life) has helped as well, favorites include Dante Bowes, Elevation worship, Hillsong worship...apologize if you don't feel appropriate suggestion, just being real 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

austbobbie 4 Posted November 21, 2020 I have been on lamictal for five years. It worked for about 1.5 years then depression set in, again, just like before taking lamictal. My Dr. increased my dose to 400mg. It helped, some. I finally convinced her to put me on an antidepressant so I am having some relief. before lamictal, I was only exclusively on antidepressants yet I knew, since being bipolar (mainly depressive side) I needed a mood stabilizer. I once tried lowering my dose back to 200 mg, BIG mistake. This proves, to me, yes, the mood stabilizer, lamictal is working. I will stay on it forever. and continue taking whatever meds I need to feel better... of course at the advice of my Dr., she is great, I lucked out finding a good psychiatrist. My life is very stressful, chronic stress for me leads to severe depression. Just my story, everyone is different. Best wishes on your journey to wellness. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
