I have been on Lamictal for ummm over a year now ..I had no trouble titrating up to my now current 150mg at nite .. My Pdoc and Tdoc said Lamictal kinda works in the background for depression and I probably wouldnt really notice a huge change.. they were both right .. Its Not a WOW Oh my goodness this medication is fabulous I did finally notice that my depression had eased up a little.. I rapid cycle so im up and down numerous times a day.

I also take Lithium and personally I think the lamictal and lithium have affected my memory ..I use to be really smart and quick could remember little details from years ago ..My husband has noticed a kinda big change in my ability to remember things.. I have spoken to my Pdoc about these problems and him and I decided that for now the pros outweight the cons ( no recent hospital stays) so I will continue taking them.

Most everyone does fine when they start Lamictal the percentage of people that do get SJS or the rash is ridiculous low ..

Good Luck ~
