> Ya know, I had a one week sample of Lamictal that my mom got from her doctor. I didn't feel any effects at all. Not sure if it takes 4-6 weeks to take effect like most medications? I took it in the am and felt nothing at all, but ya know what... I am going to look into Lamictal again. Thanks so much, I really need help with these mood swings, anger, and irritability.

Please really consider a mood stabilizer. Lamictal saved my life. I know it is frustrating, but, you have to be patient and titrate your dose. Sounds as if you didn't give it a chance. Most don't get therapeutic response until they hit 150mg and above. I take 200mg. There are others that you might also benefit from. Antidepressants used without a mood stabilizer, can exacerbate your mood cycling.
