Hi, I just wondered if anyone else takes Lamotrigine as a mood stabilizer as that's what I take. I know that it's mainly used for epilepsy .
Yes, I take it alongside duloxetine. I've been taking it since April and gradually building up the dose.
I think it's helping a little. There seem to be slightly fewer bad days although the ones I have are still really bad.
Hi, I've been taking it for quite awhile now. I'm the same I still have bad days but they are not as severe as they we're. I'm finding that they are helping to keep me more stable. I've just not heard of anyone else taking it apart from you. I'm also on venlafaxine and mirtazapine. I really appreciate you replying to my message .
I had to persuade my psychiatrist to put me on it as she wanted me to take lithium. I thought this sounded like a less scary option. I'm now on 250mg but she says she doesn't want to increase the dose any higher (even though it can go up to 400mg). She still wants to switch me from this to lithium.
