I loved Lamictal, I was on it for a little over 2 years, and my max dose was 200mg once per day. However I thought it started to lose it's steam and I stopped it (wrong idea). I went thru the worst depression in my life withdrawing from it, so I don't suggest you cold turkey it or drop down in doseages in large amounts. I am now on Zonegran and it seems to work well, although it is rarely used in psychiatry.
