SD increases hippocampal content of serotonin. I think that pindolol and lithium have been used to sustain the effect due to their ability to do the same.
I don't know if lamotragine would have the same effect.
If you found that SD had an effect for you, then you could mention it to your doctor, perhaps with abstracts about the ssutaining effet of lithium pindolol etc.
Note, some people may feel worse the day of SD, but actually feel better on subsequent days. I guess keep that in mind too.
