You'll know soon enough whether it was the drinking, but I have read that with Lamictal, some people get a short burst of relief early on, but when you finally reach your optimal dose it sticks.
Wouldn't give up on it yet. It's not like anything is likely to completely and consisitently undepress you (damn!)> My Lamictal finally kicked in at 275mg along with 5mg Zyprexa. The positive effects went away within one night. That night was a night of drinking, but I woke up still feeling the good effects of the Lamictal, but it wore off during the course of the day. Has this happened with anyone, drinking aside, and did you regain therapeutic effects. I'm moving up to 300mg tomorrow and hoping for the best. I feel stupid as hell for drinking, but I don't know if thats to blame.
