I tried lamictal twice. The first time, at the starting dose of 25mg, I flew into a violent mixed state. I said and did a lot of messed up things. Ruined relationships etc. all in the span of a week so I quit.

Then a few years later I tried it again and I’m still on it at 400mg. My baseline is a mild depression as well and even with lamictal and Wellbutrin, I’m still down all the time. I just learned to accept it I guess. I don’t know. Maybe you’ll get better at a higher dose but keep an eye on your moods and talk to pdoc.
