Hi everyone! I posted a thread in the introduction section. Briefly, I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety, perhaps some cyclothymia or BP2 (very weak if so). I currently take 200mg of generic Lamictal. In the past, I have taken Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Pristiq. All of them had too many side effects for me, specifically sexual ones. Around 2 years ago, I was working in an abusive environment and developed severe depression, anxiety and IBS. I got onto Lamictal through titration up to 150. I got out of that work situation, most of my depression/anxiety cleared up and my IBS went away. Some of this could have been the work situation and some could be the Lamictal.

I find that Lamictal is hands down the best medication I have taken because it does just enough to keep me balanced but does not have too many side effects for me. Last year, I had a bit of SAD, so my psych bumped me up to 200. For around 8 months, I was very apathetic, unmotivated and uninterested in my relationships. I used to be a runner, but I wasn't interested. I almost completely checked out of my marriage and just watched a lot of tv.

I believe that some of this has been that I am on too much Lamictal. But before Christmas, it was almost like I woke up and realized what was going on. I have forced myself to do more things, focus on my relationships, stop watching tv and exercise more.

So my question is this: should I ask to titrate back down to 150 or have I made it through the 200 fog and should continue? I see my psych near the end of February so I am just trying to come up with a clearer plan before my appointment.
