> I'd like to hear from some folks with bipolar disorder who have had success with lamictal (and at what dose) for a chronic, refractory depression. I have not had any good results with the usual antidepressants...I won't try the MAOI's.
Hi Patricia,
I was on lamictal, not for bi-polar but for chronic major depression. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I've been on 35+ meds in various combinations, and so far only the MAOI's have heped. (Read the above thread "Antidepressants (Parnate) for more info about my experience with MAOI's.) I don't remember the dosage on the lamictal; I hope it helps you! (If we all responded to the same ADs we wouldn't need so many!)
