HenryO,
I have been on lamictal, currently on 400mgs, for 4 months and was curious to know your current dosage and if you were taking it with other ADs. I am on prozac, remeron, lamictal and most recently lithium. I am still looking for the "magic bullet" AD that will sufficiently relieve my unipolar depression. Although the current combo is relieving my depression, they seem to poop out in the late afternoon so my pdoc added 300mg lithium 7 days ago. I have not been on lithium long enough to tell one way or another if it is indeed the "magic bullet". I also have not had any bad side effects from lamictal such as weight gain or sexual side effect. Eventually, I would like to be taking only lamictal and lithium. Your thoughts?

No way are we talking ten percent. It would never be on the market. I don't know but it's way way less than 1 percent. That's why you start with a tiny dose to begin with. I'm a big Lamictal fan. I think when you reach a theraputic dose you will be happy with it. Weight neutral. No sexual side effects. Thats a good AD in my book. Hope you like it as much as I do. I'm on it over a year and a half now.
