In reply to Lamictal causing depression?, posted by Whit_in_Texas on March 30, 2006, at 7:32:01

When it comes to psychotropics, there is great variability between individuals as to how one reacts to a given drug. Not that it would make any difference, but I find that splitting up my dosage to twice a day works better than taking it all at once.
In what ways are you more depressed?
What is your current diagnosis?
I'm sure some others whom have had the same reaction as yours will reply to your post. If I were in your position, I would find it difficult to justify the continuation of treatment.
