Coco, I started Lamictal at the 25 mg. dose and built up to 100 mg over
time. It was excellent for about 4 months, then my sensitivity to drugs
caused me to react with a breakout of acne (which is characteristic of
some who cannot take that mood stabilizer).

Even at 15 mg I was pushing toward hypomania. My psychiatrist stopped
it and told me just to take aspirin.

I think Lamictal is excellent if we can take it; otherwise, it was better
for me to go on one of the older antidepressants: Prozac. With changes
in diet to accommodate a more alkaline state, that's sufficient medication
to keep everything for me stable---just 20 mg once daily.

I hope you find success with Lamictal. At six weeks you should be feeling
better, in my opinion. Check with your psychiatrist about your use and
dosage, please.
