> How has your experience been so far with Lamictal?
It has been okay. I take it to augment my antidepressants (lexapro and desipramine) b/c I haven't been able to get over my most recent depressive episode (just regular depression, not BP). I would say that I haven't really noticed any s/e's. No weight gain or changes in sleep. My pdoc says that generally it is low in s/e's. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed any dramatic benefits either, but I think that things may slowly be getting better. It is also a little hard to tell b/c some difficult things have happened in my life in the past few weeks. I wonder if I would be feeling better if this wasn't the case, you know?

> What dose are you on?200 mg. I have been on this dose for about 3 weeks so far. It takes a while to work your way up there.
Best of luck. Keep us posted!
