4) Lamictal is supposed to help with depression and apparently is doing the job for you so fine, but I would reduce the dose in half
1) Helped with me, big time. First symptom that went away.

2) Says you, says otherwise a lot of people who have been helped over this dose.

3) Repeated: help with me.

4) If Lamictal only helped with depression, then it'd be an AD and not a mood stabilizer.

I believe that Lamictal can and does help with mood stabilizer on the high and low end of the spectrum. It just isn't the thing for when the highs are really powerful. But when it does help with the highs, the dosages required are much higher than those for depression.
