Be careful with lamictal. If you stop taking it for 2-3 days you have to start titrating all over again.

If it helps, I used to take lamictal for depression and it worked well for me.

Your creativity is still there, you just have to find another way of coaxing it out of yourself.

I have been depressed for years now and I still manage to create...I just changed how I got to my creativity. I used to rely on my natural motivation but I don't have that now.

I sort of convince myself to try something creative and I keep convincing myself until I finally get up and start working. I have to push myself to keep with it and to go back to it even when I don't feel like it.

It sort of becomes a habit and the creativity flows from that. It takes a while and some work but it is possible.

Thanks for this!
