In reply to Lamictal:How long?, posted by zana on October 1, 2009, at 16:22:36
Hi Zana,
You should feel benefits when you get to the 100mg dose. I also had a little anxiety/restless feelings when I started it, but not even close to how bad starting an SSRI feels for me.
100mg was great for depression and I actually stayed on that dose for about 9 months. I then had a bad hypomanic episode that wouldn't go away, so dose was increased to 200mg. I have been at this dose for almost 2 years.
Can I ask what other meds you are taking with the Lamictal?
