> Fifth day on Lamictal 200mg, my depression is getting worse and have increased anxiety and I have developed panic attacks. Anyone know if Lamictal is causing this, or suggestions what to do?

I was wondering how you were getting along with your new Lamictal. Is it monotherapy? If not what else are you taking? Seems like Lamictal is the culprit here. What happens if you stop it? Or don't you want to stop it just yet?
Dr Ivan Goldberg lists the s/e's of Lamotrigine at point no. 13 at the following web site but no mention of deteriorating depression or panic attacks. You need to speak to your pdoc, Matt.

Could it be an interaction with something else you are also taking?
Sorry I can't be of much use to you.
