I am Bipolar so in my med cocktail I have taken 100 mg of Lamictal for over a year now. When I first took as monotherapy I was able to write songs for the first time in months, but that escalated to mania so I had to add an anti-psychotic. I have been quite low for some time, no motivation to write music or do much else for that matter so I don't know if it's lost it's effect, or I need to be on a higher dose, need to cut back on the anti-psychotic dosage, or what. Still trying to find the perfect balance.
One annoying thing about starting Lamictal is you have to begin with 25 mg and ssssllloowwwwwy work your way up to a therapeutic dosage to hopefully avoid getting a rash.
