Dear Asha,
Good that you took care of your ailing mom normally and responsibly. It is because you were not depressed during that period.
Lamitor is a mood stabiliser to prevent your recurrent depressive episodes. 100 mg has done its work, i suppose.
Now why do you want to reduce the dose? For side effect or you can not afford the cost?
If so, be prepared to get another episode of depression and make arrangements to bring you into treatment before you become suicidal or deluded....more

Lamotrigine is not a primary antidepressant, but a weak mood stabiliser. So if the symptoms are still present consult any psychiatrist in person or online and get a primary antidepressant. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
please visit your doctor often and discuss the changes you need to make. Both lamotrigine and fludac will be increased according to the assessment on that visit. In bipolar disorder. The mood changes from low to normal and high. At times, even mixed phase will be there. Accordingly the fludac will be increased or stopped, an anti-psychotic may be added for short term. Lamotrigine will be continuous for all phases of mood.

Please recheck serum lithium level. If she is having lamotrigine induced switch it will take at least 8 to 12 weeks to come back to normal. The other medicine given along will help in controlling the symptoms with proper dosses. Patience is required in such cases,
