> Laura! It's you! I'm so happy to see that you've responded. I cannot believe I forgot your name and couldn't find the post that helped me so much.

> The website address was fine and that site was very helpful ~ thanks so much. I printed 18 pages of it and took it with me to the Pdoc appointment where we discussed all of this and decided to try Lamictal in addition to the Wellbutrin dosage I've been taking for a couple of years. God knows I've tried all of the ADs. Hopefully, a mood stabilizer will make a difference. I may not be a perfect round peg in the square hole (diagnosis-wise), but that doesn't mean it won't work (or so I've been told).

I might of suggested this in this post to you last time, a great book to read is "Why Your Depression Isn't getting better",by Michael R. Bartos M.D. You can order it through amazon.com. There is a FAQ sheet on Lamictal in the web site above. Good Luck, Laura.
