Hi,

I've been taking 300mg of Lamictal for over three months now, with mostly good effects (I take it for bipolar). However, sometimes it seems like the higher dose is making me more vulnerable to depression -- without taking Adderall, I become lethargic, uninterested in things, and unmotivated. This is how I felt before taking adderall (and while on lamictal) so it's not like I'm developing some kind of dependence and withdrawal from the adderall (I stopped it for the month of december, and now am on one-third of the dose I was on).

I know that this time of year is usually bad for depression, but I live in the south, and it has been 70-80 degrees and sunny most of the winter. AND I work out all of the time.

I just feel like the effect of Lamictal is wearing down, like I'm building up a tolerance (which is not possible, right?). Has anybody else had these sorts of problems with lamictal?
