> I started on Lamictal in early June for ongoing depression/anxiety. I am up to 100mgs a day.Does this med even work for depression/anxiety. I went through the bad stress of a separation in early July but I would have expected Lamictal to have had some therapeutic effect by now. They say that the target dose for depression is maybe 200 mgs, but I am already starting to get some cognitive blunting and many people supposedly do well at 100mgs so whats up. I have taken Wellbutrin 400mgs SR a day for many months and em up to 4 mgs of Xanax a day at least to get through this more current separation debacle. Does Lamictal give you a significant therapeutic effect at all. Like to hear some good experiences.
Yes -- my doctor does believe it is an antidepressant. I currently take 200mg. I just got it renewed -- its patent is off, its now just lamotrigine. At some point I may go up on it.
