Hi Kar,
I'm glad it's working for you! I was depression free consistently for a couple of weeks but then had relapses which disapeared after I increased my dosage. I'm going to try to add Neurontin and see what that does and also maybe Tegretol. I found a very inspiring article about a woman who had years of depression with multiple trials of meds and finally a combination of Lamictal, Neurontin and carbamazepine worked.

> hey Peter- I'm on 450 with no side effects as far as I know. The depression is much better...been a long time since I could say that I have more good days than bad. Scares me tho, that it "wore off" with you. Do you mean that this happened each time as you increased it or was it after a few/many months of feeling good?
