John,

Thank you so much for continuing to return to this topic and add your thoughts.

To answer your questions, I was on an AD (EffexorXR) for months BEFORE I went on the Lamictal. When I got to a therapeutic dose of Lamictal, it was my then-pdoc's hope that I could just be on the Lamictal and no longer need the AD.

Soooooo ... I titrated OFF the AD and within a few weeks I crashed ... severe depression ... barelly able to function. Apparently the mood stabilizer alone (Lamictal) was not enough. I need BOTH a mood stabilizer and an AD.

Glad to hear you do well on Serzone with Lamictal.
-Janelle
