I have BPII (not 100% sure at times) and ADHD (100% certain) and as soon as I went to 25mg, for around 5 days or so, my anxiety was mostly gone. Maybe 80% gone.

That effect has lessened, and I hope it comes back at 50mg, and I hope depression goes further down too. This is the first bipolar med I've tried. I was dx as G.A.D. around 10-11 years ago. Tried Effexor, Seroquel, etc. Had major weight gain - and crazy Mania.

Now on Lamictal, I see I'm much better. But I didn't treat anything at all except for ADHD in the recent 8 years, except now for Lamictal.

Does anyone have digestive side fx that go away in higher doses?
Anyone take Dexedrine or Adderall and has Lamictal interfered in any way?

I am athletic and since starting Lam (for the second time), I have instantly become bloated. And this bothers me, I consider quitting but MAYBE at higher doses, that side effect will go.

Any input would be appreciated.
