"note - i take lamictal for treatment resistant depression, but that wasn&#039;t offered as one of the condition choices.

lamictal has been a godsend. my p-doc prescribed it to augment the effexor (300 mg/day) that i take. as others have noted, you have to titrate up gradually on lamictal so it can take about six weeks (in my case) to start seeing improvement. at 75mg/day i definitely began to notice a change for the better and at 100mg/day (which i&#039;ve been taking now for 2.5 weeks) the positive impact has been dramatic. 

i don&#039;t wake up every morning plagued by anxiety and negative, self-loathing rumination. i am actually happy which hasn&#039;t been the case for many years."
