> Laura,
> I got an Rx for Lamictal today. We'll see how it goes. I believe I will start a new thread on how other Lam users are doing lately. I'll ultimately have to judge for myself but so far most of the old posts I've read on it have been pretty discouraging. - BCatBCat,
I 'll send you a link from Depression Central web site. It is an FAQ sheet on this drug. Just be patient when you tirtate your dose. I got alittle wired in the beginning, but that subsided. I didn't get real theraputic response til I hit 100mg/day. I lowered my AD after I started to titrate up to 75mg/day. In the beginning I got a diffuse rash on my arms and trunk which went away. Since going up to 100mg, I got alittle itchy, but no visable rash. that's getting better too. Start your post on Lamictal, and I think you'll get alot of positive feedback from others.
