I'm on Lamictal also. I've been on that longer than Parnate, about 3 months. I thought it started working after about a month, and I felt pretty good (well, not too bad I guess is more accurate) for a few weeks. But then I cut my dose in half, immediately felt worse but stayed at that dose for 2 weeks. Then went back up to 150mg and now it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I don't think it makes me feel worse, just doesn't help at all.
I see my doctor tomorrow. I wonder if he'll tell me to go up on Parnate. Probably. I just can't help but think if it isn't doing anything yet, that it won't at all.
I guess he thinks it will help with depression. I'm not bipolar really, just very mild up and down mood changes. I've been on Risperdal before to supposedly help depression, but it didn't do much, if anything.
It really sucks.
