Lamictal and irrratbility at higher doses

Posted by MarkCSF on October 8, 2002, at 1:31:50

Hi,

I started on Lamictal about 10 weeks ago.. I worked my way up to 150mg in about 5 weeks or so with no problems or side effects whatsoever and I was actually feeling decently normal. At least not descending downwards.. I moved up to 200mg at the doctors request, he was trying to get me up to 300mg for some reason. Anyway, after a day or two of 200mg I just felt kind of groggy and super irritable. Everything little thing was getting on my nerves, I was snapping at people, didnt have the same feelings toward people that I had just two days before. Sooo, I promptly dropped back down to 150mg as my girlfriend was moving in 2 weeks and I didnt want to me snappy and mad at her the whole time. Well, things were going great on 150mg for another 4 weeks maybe when just out of nowhere this past Monday I woke up and found myself super depressed once again. Granted, my girlfriend did move but decided to move back (weird, I know) so I know it wasnt due to that. It was just like, one day good, next day suicidal thoughts and crying, etc. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I getting tolerant to 150 and need to move up again, hopefully without irritability this time? I went to a brand new pdoc as I just moved to Austin and he told me to stay on the 150mg while we added 300mg of Wellbutrin, so have been only doing this for a few days and still do not feel nearly like I did 2 weeks ago.. thanks for the thoughts and what not..!
