(Sorry in advance this is kinda long there’s lots of background info)

So the thing is, it’s doing its job. Just like it did last time when I was on it, however last time I eventually got up to I think it was 200mg? (This was in 2018 I can’t remember). 

I got back on Lamictal ab 6 months ago and like I said it’s working fine because it’s almost entirely wiped out my suicidal thoughts for good like it dad last time. But last time I tried upping my dosage I feel like it didn’t do anything for my depression. And right now it’s the same thing. It isn’t really doing anything at all for my depression. Maybe a little bit. 

Right now I’m at 100mg and I’m thinking of getting on to 150mg for a while. I just don’t want to add more more chemicals to my body if I don’t need to. And I don’t want to waste my time (and long term health) upping my dosage if it isn’t going to effect my depression. I read from someone on here once they got on I think 300 or 400mg and it suddenly started working for them. And I heard some other people say it randomly started working after several months out of the blue. 

So idk if this is a possibility for me or not. I don’t want to get on another medication but I also don’t want to waste my time and money upping my dose if it’s going to not do anything.

The difference here is that in 2018 (right after I upped my dose) I got cut off my parents insurance and had to get off it. 

I just want to know what your experience has been with lamictal. Has it helped your depression suddenly after months of taking it? Or did it work when you upped it to a certain amount? If not, I am open to hearing what other medications have worked for your depression. 

Thank u for reading this far!
