bluebicyle, Lamictal is a moodstabilizer. It, alone, can work well for prophylaxis against mania and depression for some people at some times. 200 mg is a normal dose for many people. I think you should talk to your psychiatrist seriously before going off of it. You know that if you go off of it and need it again that people generally do not go from 0 mg to 200 mg that quickly, because of rash risk. It's not quick like Lithium and other moodstabilizers, or antipsychotics.
