After this I doubled my paroxetine dosage. I used to take 20mg before lamotrigine and now I think it was too low and I was getting depressed when I wasn't hypomanic. I'm still more down than 'ok', but at least I'm not suicidal. I'm only worried because after doubling the dosage I started having wild dreams everynight AND last time this happened it was the beginning of hypomania (induced by paroxetine). Keeping an eye on it for now, hope I can get these two balanced really soon.


tl;dr: Lamotrigine was NOT making me depressed.
