Lamictal person doing good

I've been on lamictal since 8-5-2002. I was on depakote after a mixed episode which helped the anxiety and related stuff but not mood and mental clarity.

I seemed very sensitive to it (made me somewhat manicky feeling) and went up very slowly (by 6.25 mg every few days to start). As I was increasing the dose it would make me anxious/hyper/agitatged feeling. Finally got to 50mg 10-22-2002 and things were much better within a week. (Note: because the depakote can almost double the levels of lamictal this is approx. equal to 100mg for someone else)

Mood is much better and mind is much clearer - I can find words/form words/organize thoughts.

May still need to adjust it some but overall feeling good with no current side effects. Still have that "hope" that I will find some way to do without meds but for now this is a wonderful one.
