> I always thought lamictal was best used as a "boost" for AD drugs. I take it along with prozac now and i am starting to feel better. Its only been 3 1/2 wks, and I know the prozac is helping with the depression. I mainly want to add the lamictal for mood swings. I am not sure if using it alone would be of great help. Are you taking it for BP?
> SYes, I am BPII and my pdoc confirmed this afternoon that at a therapeutic dose I should see some results. I wish I could have tolerated Prozac like you do; the only one without side effects so far has been Effexor at 150 mg. but I don't think that really helped me at all, before the lamictal or now with it. I am so frustrated; I'm starting to believe that I will never be able to feel any relief from this depression, lack of motivation, anhedonia, anxiety..The list could go on and on. Sorry to be such a bummer.
