Both are the same one is DT, dispersible tablet, OD is once daily tablet. No difference in efficacy but only the nature of the preparation is different.

As answered earlier, daily 300 mg of opipromol is not at all preferred, apart from this, you are taking 150 mg of lamotrigine, that is also a heavy dose, kindly consult to a psychiatrist asap, need to balance your medicines, do not take or quit medicines with out prescription,

Lamitor is a weak mood stabiliser, I don't think os it will help, consult a good psychiatrist and get proper treatment. All the best.
