> thanx.I don't know. I have not seen Lamictal used for either purpose, but it is not unreasonable that it be tried. If Lamictal acts for you similarly as it does for depression, you might experience an improvement within the first two weeks that then disappears and doesn't reappear until you get to the higher dosages. 200-300mg?
Good luck. Please post your results.

I'm going to talk to my pdoc on Monday about Lamictal. Last time I tried it -- only up to 50 mg -- made me too sleepy.Do you have a source I can use re ?: "you might experience an improvement within the first two weeks that then disappears and doesn't reappear until you get to the higher dosages. 200-300mg?"
I'd like to show it to my pdoc.

Watch out for the rash. They say if you increase slowly you won't get it. Fondly, Phillipa
