spaceman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 now at 150 mg and depressed. will an increase help with the depression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazynotstupid Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 It could. I recently hit a depression that was other than my previous situational ones; we increased the lamictal from 200 to 300. Cleared things right up. No guarantees, but you have plenty of room to go up, so it's unlikely to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 i'm in a bp depression right now, and i was upped from 400mg to 500mg. there is a lot of latitude with lamictal. an increase could be a good thing. talk to your pdoc about it. i have birth control to complicate it, because it halves the amount of lamictal you effectively take, so my 400 was really a 200. i'm happy he's increasing me! it's about time! so now, my effective dose is 250. i want to up it to 300. we shall see who wins this one!

Dee Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm already experiencing positive effects and I am only at 50 mg, titrating up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You got the pickiest med out there, so it's anyone's guess. Most people report antidepressant effects at anywhere from 25mg up. The 'accepted' therapeutic dose is supposed to be 200mg, so an increase may help. Every time I increased the dose, I went nutso for a day or two, so be warned.

Mechante Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's not working for my depression right now. We just increased my AD 2 weeks ago but it's not working yet. I feel like I'm getting desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit37 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I just titrated up to 200mg, and it's starting to work. Had a bad bout of depression that wasn't getting anywhere, but I'm starting to feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
