I was wondering if maybe Lamictal is not going to work for me. I've been taking 150 mg for years along with 1000 mg of Depakote. Had my ups and downs. Went off Depakote and upped Lamictal to 200mg because of suicidal depressive episode. Been at 200mg for 2 weeks and I'm now in the worst depression of my life. I'm worried because this med. seems to be a miracle for almost everyone. I can't even function well enough to take care of my little boy. Just wondering if I can go up in my dose or do I have to wait longer for the increase to kick in. I'm really suffering and losing all hope of feeling better.
