Yes, Lamictal has AD qualities that I would classify as "strong," and it hasn't even been 1 month and I am on a small dose of 12.5/25 mgs a day alternating.
I am very surprised by the AD effect. It's not like the SSRI feeling. Lamictal doesn't have the drugged or drowsy feeling that I experienced with Prozac. No blunted med head. A lot of clarity.
Plus, I just feel happy. At night while trying to fall asleep, I find myself smiling about the day that passed and looking forward to tomorrow. On Prozac, I would just fall right to sleep. Before medication, I would stay in bed trying to fall asleep with great anxiety, obsessive thoughts, etc.
So far so good.
