I am thoroughly tired of depression. I’ve not been having throw-myself-off-the-building depression, just relatively mild stuff. But the mild stuff can be a real mind-messer and life-messer when it goes on and on.
I actually thought I was exaggerating when I said to myself that this depression crap just keeps going. Then I looked at my handy little mood chart graph from moodtracker.com. Er no, I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been depressed or mixed all but 3 days this month. Ugh.
Apparently the lamotrigine has leveled out the manic stuff — like it’s supposed to. But it hasn’t done as much for the depression. I’ll slog it out. I always do. I’m just tired of it. Come to think of it, I’m just tired.

I can identify with this. Am trying to work on a blog post about it myself.
I’ve dealt with chronic low-level depression all my life. It sucks!
I’m sorry you’ve been feeling depressed. Sometimes I don’t even think depressed is a feeling! I am also dealing with low level depression. It’s not enough that I feel depressed… it just disables me. I find it so mysterious how everyone’s body chemistry is so different. Lamotrigine levels off your mania, while it levels off my depression. Maybe you can ship your extra meds to me…
I’m amazed lamotrigine has any effect on depression, glad it works for Jane thou wish it’d work for you. I’ve had any and all levels of depression and it sucks any way you slice it.
*hugs*
Karita, I’ll be interested to see your post.
Laura, you got that right
Jane it is weird how one thing works one way for someone and the other to others.
Mog, it’s the only anti-convulsant that does. It may work for me but not at this dose. And I’m not as depressed as I was so it may be working for me just not enough.
