In reply to Re: Lamictal as anti-depressant- how? what doses?, posted by Chrissy on March 21, 2002, at 18:10:13
Hi Chrissy,
I'm not sure on your diagnosis. But I have been through a lot of medicines for a bipolar diagnosis. I have faired vary well using Lamictal as my primary mood stabilizer and antidepressant. I really haven't had any major depressive spells (except one or 2 bumps) while at a thereapeutic dose of the medicine. I added topamax to mainly help with some headaches. I suspect it is helping with mood fluctuations but it is hard to tell. It also allowed me to lower Klonopin dosing substantially.
What is it about topamax that you like? I guess I'm a bit confused about your comments regarding going into more irritation and depression? Do
you feel that the prozac is not cutting it?
Regards,
John
