Side Blinded it may help but getting a doc to write a script for having mood swings may be difficult to obtain. If they suspect bi-polar then yes, or depression?
Not sure about the efficacy of 25mg of lamictal because I remember taking it when my pdoc thought I had bipolar and my dose was 100 to 150 mg on average. Every doc wants to titrate a med up and see if smaller doses have an effect.

I have seen that some docs give it to help some depression symptoms. It isn't indicated for depression as it is mainly to stabilize mood but many docs use it off-label and mostly in conjunction with other meds. It might be of use for me but I will ask my pdoc.

Best of luck with your experience with it as your doc may up it when he or she sees if it is helping any.

take care
