I am on 400mg of Lamictal and have noticed a worsening of fatigue with the dosage increases. The Lamictal has yet to work. I am a weight lifter and this severely disrupts my workouts and I feel it affects my aerobic workouts as well. I have no endurance. I still have fatigue associated with my bipolar depression without the medicine, but I don't think it is as bad. I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar to this? Does depression affect actual muscle metabolism or is the poor mental outlook from depression the cause of my fatigue and the inability to lift what I condsider low weight.
