300mg lamictal 60mg buspar 30mg vyvanse I'm still manic since none of them helps with that. My depression is under control a lot more and I'm able to deal with my anxiety too. Vyvanse helps a lot with my binge eating. |

I believe Lamictal is helping me realize when I'm manic. At first I always thought I was in a never ending depressed state, now I see I really do rapidly cycle in and out of depression and mania all day long.

This is the most ominous thread I've ever read. I'm up to 100mg now. I can see from reading on here that it may not ever help or could allow mania.
I'm very poor at recognizing mental health problems and communicating it with urgency to my doctor. This means I could suffer now for many more years. I'm quickly implementing self-help measures that I have years and years of knowledge that they will work for me. I know this may be the only thing that I have to look forward to and feel confident about.

Lamictal works on the depressive end of Bipolar , does nothing much for hypo/mania
Most doctors get a patient up to 200 mg or so dose and it works in the back ground hopefully keeping depression at bay. What other meds do you take ? Antipsychotic or mood stabilizer ?

Hi ~Christina, I've been doing some reading and that's about the same conclusion I got from the literature. I also take Abilify and Wellbutrin currently, along with Lamictal now. |

Just wanted to update about the headaches. I saw both my psychologist then psychiatrist on Thursday. Pretty much I was on the wrong dose of Lamictal (75 instead of 100). Anyway upped to 100mg per day and the headaches are gone. My mood is more consistent through the day too.

My Lamictal was just increased to 500 mg/day. Hopefully this will get me out of my current depressive episode. The last time I went up on it, the effect lasted for several years, so I'm optimistic. The only thing I'm worried about is the possibility that it might make me even clumsier than I already am!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
