I hope the Lamictal comes through for you again. Perhaps a bit more time, or the next step up in dose, will make a difference. I remember when I went from 50 mg to 75 mg that my mood lifted noticeably. When my doc even increased it to 100 mg, he had to add a touch more antipsychotic because my mood suddenly jumped the other direction (hypomania). That need not happen, though. I'm glad I never needed more than 100 mg again. Above 100 mg and I noticed mild side effects. None at 100 mg.

I didn't see your post above until after I asked about you in your thread. Your post above answered some of my question, I guess.
