I can't quite figure out Lamictal. I thought once I reached a theraputic dose the effects would stick, but no such luck.
I can only go as high as 150mg without side effects such as carb cravings/weight gain, racing thoughts and feeling more depressed!
I think it is an excellent mood stabilizer, but as far as an antidepressant, you increase the dose and feel good for a few days and then game over. I feel like a junky, increasing the dose trying to feel good.
I think I'm going to go back to school and become a pdoc. As long as you keep up with the latest "med of the month," you qualify. Honestly, I could have tried these meds through my regular doc and saved thousands in fees from my pdoc!
Oh well, I guess I'll pull out my "med dice" and roll them to pick my next med.
Anyway, has anyone out there hit max dose with Lamictal and still experienced poop out?
