I was just switched from Abilify to Lamictal. The Abilify was working great for my depression, but the side effects were awful. It's been a week now, and I feel very depressed again. How long will it take for the Lamictal to kick in? Does Lamictal even work as well for depression? I'm also on 209mg if Zoloft but feel that has stopped working.

Abilify maybe working for your depression and works as a fairly good mood stabilizer, so when off, if Lamictal doesn't work, you're screwed.

I was put on Abilify for a while. It made everything I ate taste metallic. I lost my appetite. Later on I was put on Lamictal. I got the Lamictol rash & had to be taken off pronto... So I can't say much positive about either one...
