Hey everyone...

i was googling some web sites to find out if lamictal at dosages that are too big for an individual can cause melancholy or depression etc...

i found out that it might be possible at higher dosages. I must say that ive been feeling wheepy and crying more than before...could be lamictal causing me this?

if anyone has or knows someone with similar issues do please share.
since depression and anxiety go hand by hand i presume it can cause anxiety or simple nervousness as well...

have a good day

i am also adding i have quite big of a stress with my BF so surelly it's not heping my wheepyness but to react so intense and so sad and desperate....just isn't normal raction i'd say, no mater how huge our problems with BF are...

i hope someone will reply enjoy everyone

i dont know for sure if it was the lamictal but a sudden increase in dosage coincided with a suicide attempt for me in the past.

increase slowly and keep and eye on those moods! if you feel paniced and unsafe call someone!

On high doses of lamictal I became suicidal and agitated. Didn't realize that was the cause until I went off it. I think I was at 150mg/day. Best of luck

tomalovely thank you for sharing it with me

if it affected you like that, it might be causing me depression....i've been on it since march, and maybe now it's time for it to leave... i hope

thanks!

It causes me to rev up and have uncomfortable surges of emotion (in my case, sui), so maybe some people react to it with increased emotional lability? In the past, I took it to boost AD's to get me out of the depression and also keep from going off the rails at the same time (which ADs do). This time around, I have a new pdoc and she had me starting it without an AD, but because it will take so long to get to my target of 200 mg, I'm starting lithium.

It's so different for everyone. A good pdoc can help adjust and find the right combo or approach without making things worse.
