My fifth week with Lamictal, one week at 100mg. The only time i noticed any improvement was the two days after raising the dose from 50mg to 100mg(a week ago). Since that, no improvement at all. Currently it's like before i started Lamictal, no effect but no side effects either. My sex life is improved, but can't really enjoy that thanks to my depression, i have no energy.
I'm wondering, since i got a little transient response going from 50 to 100mg, is this indicating that i need a higher dose? Is there any point to stay at 100mg, does it need more time etc.
Currently i do not work, and haven't done so for appr. two months. I have feelings of guilt, my employer is wondering why i never recover. Last time i was away ill i did not work for seven months, which was a nightmare. My employer wonder if that's going to happen again.. sigh.
I'm gonna call my pdoc tomorrow and i'm wondering if i should call for a higher dosage, 150 or 200mg. What do you think?/Mattias
