I take 175 for lamotrigine (lamictal). I'm also on 25-50 for sertraline (Zoloft). I have bipolar type 2, and I've been on this dosage since about March. So far, while I've had times when the anxiety has gotten ahold of me (whereupon I up my dosage from 25 to 50), I haven't fallen into a depression and I've had one rather mild hypomania.
When I took just 50 of sertraline a year ago.... well, I was off the charts hypomanic. So I know that the Lamictal allows me to use an antidepressant that I otherwise wouldn't be able to.
I haven't had any other side effects from either medication. Well, I've gained some weight since I started meds, but when I started I was left on a reealllly low dosage for a long time and I was in a depression for months (which messes with my eating habits).
