my lamictal was increased to 400mg, which it's defently been helping. But this is the thing....i think tolerance happens, because also phenibut, i've been taking phenibut and my body is becoming tolerant. And then when its discontined it's unpleasant, have alot, i mean alot of anxiety. The lamogratine has helped it has anti-depressant effect, yet once and while i have to take 500mg 2 tablets and half a tablet. I'm just so sick of getting tolerant to meds. I'm not goin to increase lamotragine anymore, it is at high dose, 600mg is too much. I've taken half tablet later on during the day, and i feel alot better. Lamotragine this how it works for me, it doesnt have prozac increase mood improvement, but it will pull me out of a depressive phase back to baseline. I took 500 and i feel very improved. I can't increase it because it's at a high dose. I feel just kinda stuck because having to deal with tolernce. I wish it would go away...
does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

lamictal is working now for me. In the past, i would be a in good mood, then i would take lamictal and it would blunt my mood, and i would get pissed and be bad mood. It seem to happen gradually but now i notice lamictal has antidepressant effects, when combined with prozac. When first started prozac years ago, it helped my mood. I been on prozac for 14 years, i don't change my meds, because im familar with prozac effects. But after time, i would be in bad mood, or a slump, after drinking alcohol. I took lamictal and i noticed a antidepressant, it moved me to baseline, and pulled me out of depressed feeling

first post i ranted too much, i have to say lamictal, it helps with also impulsive thinking, i have more of a filter when i do or speak, lamotragine is anticonvultant, and it slows down or stablizes electrical fire, and sodium channel blocker. I guess helped with some better thinking instead of being a mess.
Like i wrote before, when they took me off dexedrine, it was traumatizing. That is all i put. I lost all functioning and being in a vulnerabe state. The people that lived there, said to move out and that was during the time when it was removed. It was a traumatizing time. These people talked with doctor, and my therapist spoke with my psychatrist, and they conpsired to throw me out, and suggested I went to rehab. I hope that doctor has karma that will get him, judgement day he will get the wrath for traumatzing me. Anyways, so after that i was put on heavy antipsychotics, both zyprexa and geodon at very high doses, because they said no more xanax, and threw me on heavy antipsychotics. I adapted to zyprexa, and was put on lamotragine for depression. So during this whole, i've been in the same place, telling me that i can't be on a certain meds, when in fact that is the reason for the problems that i can't hold a good job. Because of understimulation. Armodafnil works, but its not ... like dexedrine or adderall. But over time i've noticed some benefits of lamotragine, for depression and stability of thoughts. I've noticed it's anti-depressant effects pulls me back to baseline during a slump or depressive phase. Still....what i wrote about my history, it was hell going through it. They traumatized me by throwing me off, and threw me into rehab, when those meds in fact where the things that were helping. The evil therapist said he needed to speak with psychiatrist, i said ok and gave him his number, and that's when he called and said doenst need to be on these meds. That psychiatrist and therpaist conspired, and threw me out. That's why i don't go to therapists anymore, its kinda of cause and effect and don't want that to happen again.
Anyways, i'm sure there alot of other meds, like abilify to help depression, it's a D2 agonist, and helps depession. Lamotragine finally started working and i'm kidna glad i have a good add on to keep depression away
