i'm not a medical professional but i am also bipolar and used to take lamictal for several years. i am approximately twice your size and took 200mg bid and abilify. if i were in your place i would talk with my dr about trying to get off the lexapro as you are now taking 2 anti-convulsive medications which i've always been leery of and ask about adding something along those lines.
what is the typical adult dosage of lamictal (lamotrigine) for bipolar depression? . i am a 25 yr old woman and weigh about 105lbs. i am currently on 40mg (2x 20mg/day) of lexapro and have recently titrated up to 200mg of lamotrigine. i have been diagnosed with anxiety and manic depression. lexapro did not have as much effect on me compared to when i first started taking it. this then led to me being prescribed lamotrigine. is this combination effective in treating my disorders? am i on too much? are there any other medications that are known to be effective? . thank you.
