I've been on 300mg of limactil for months. I feel it has helped a lot with my agitation moods but I think I'm more hopeless and depressed than I have ever been. I feel like my Dr. Is no help to me and my family and friends think my depression is not real. DESPERATE for a solution!!! something must change

Does his make sense to anyone.

    It would be best to try and get ahold of your DR and see if they can add something on for the depression. I take 6 different meds for my Bipolar && PTSD .. which in my opinion is too many dang pills but I’m working on getting down to 3-4 eventually. I’ve never been on Lamictal so I can’t say anything about it but I do know it can take a good while to find the correct meds for your body chemistry. I’ve been trying for 7 years. But don’t up!! There is the right medication(s) out there for you!!

      Thanks for replying. I went back to the Dr. He prescribed Lexapro added to the lamictal. I really hope it helps. Apparently ive had this issue for many years and just didnt know what it was. I wouldn't wish how i feel on my worst enemy. Most people have no idea what it's like to not be able to have one happy thought in weeks, or longer. Or at least a little hope. I think hope is a unicorn. Mythical.. lol

      Thanks for kind words
