I imagine if you like the Emsam enough, you can do something else for your BP. With the MAOI's usually low BP is only a problem when you stand up, orthostatic hypotension. My bp is normal.
I don't think lamictal is effective or recommended by itself very often. In unipolar depression, it is taken with AD. In bipolar depression, it is taken with another mood stabilizer. But who knows, maybe it would work for you. You never know unless you try it.
