First, Lamictal helps stablize your mood, it has nothing to do with confidence. I am on Lamictal and take 200mg. I had been on up to 400mgs (which is the max) but had to reduce it because it is an anti-seizure med and I am on ECT. I have still had some variability in my mood states but a small increase of Abilify from 10mg to 15mg seems to have helped.
