| Has anyone tried Lamictal for Depression? |
 |
Advertisements [?]
I just went to a new therapist and she put me on Lamictal (I am going up by increments every week - now up to 50mgs) and so far, I don't really feel like it has done anything for me. My moods still go up and down, although I am never manic. I just sometimes (rarely) feel good and positive, but I always sink back into depression and lack of motivation. She has cut my SSRI in half, but I am wondering if it's not such a good idea.
Anyway, does anybody have any experience with this drug and if so, what do you think of it to treat depression? Thanks in advance.  |

Mood swings are much better, but depression is a lot worse. |
