Personally, I feel that Lamictal possesses pro-dopaminergic properties that are different than, and in addition to its purported ability to reduce extracellular glutamate levels. Its mood-stabilizing properties and its antidepressant properties may not be related, although perhaps synergistic for some.
Anita, that you feel better with Lamictal does not surprise me given your responses to dopaminergic agents. I wish I had this all figured out to be able to help you. I am curious if you have ever combined Effexor with Wellbutrin or tried an MAOI.
You'll find something. Just keep snooping. You're on the right track.
