A member asked:
What is the response time for lamictal tablets for mild, depressive bipolar symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable.: It varies. The medication is started at a very low dose and slowly titrated upwards. Optimum dosage is different for each person. I would not expect to have control of symptoms at initial dosage.
