Is there anyone out there that takes Lamictal for depression/bipolar? I'm just wondering how commonly it is prescribed. i know that it is fairly new. I've been taking it for 3 months now, and so far, so good. I would be interested in knowing how others have fared. Thanks for your time.

Best wishes,

angie

Angie, I have been on Lamictal for two weeks along with my Effexor EX, Celexa and Ambien. It was prescribed for me to try to stabilize my moods. I was on 25mgs for two weeks and just yesterday went to 50mgs. My doctor said he may have me go to 100 eventually. So far, I have seen no difference--what have you seen with yours? Debbie

Angie & Debbie:

I was on Lamictal until earlier this week. Got the rash!

Seemed to be helping somewhat but not totally.
