> Regarding Lamictal, it is functionally an NMDA antagonist, by its glutamate antagonism. I believe there is some data on the glutamate system modulating the dopamine system, and I recollect that antiglutaminergic agents potentiated dopamine. I'll look into it further. In any event, if that were the case a combo of Lamictal and a dopamine agonist like Requip might be more effective than either alone.
I think Lamictal might be a glutamate release inhibitor as well as a sodium channel blocker.
