I've been on it for around 3 months (omg wow so I've only been officially Dx'd for 3 months aha.....) and titrating was a bit difficult but I did feel it working. Once I got to 200 mg I felt a lot better, more calm and peaceful which for me is an ideal mood state. Also I got my emotions back, I could cry again and I felt a sadness that was normal sadness (like not depressed) and a happiness that was normal (not the fake happiness I experience with hypomania).

However since I've been back at uni I've been quite up and down, my mood changes every day it's very frustrating. Soooo I have no idea if lamictal just stopped working or I'm just not trying hard to regulate my emotions?? I think the stress of going back to uni has triggered something but I'm not quite sure *what*. When I was depressed I took a break from uni so I was in a very calm environment for months then I recovered, back to uni and BAM.

The only side effects I got was insomnia when I took them in the morning (not at night), some acne that seems to have gone away, and I've noticed some short term memory problems recently? They're not so bad that I'm willing to change meds but I'm going to keep a watch on that.

Actually, if anyone has some recommendations for an anti-depressant to go along with lamictal I would appreciate it haha.
