I took Lamictal for bipolar/borderline tendencies (mood swings and general instability). I get the impression Lamictal isn't so great as a monotherapy for unipolar depression as it is for depression in people who have bipolar tendencies. Are you taking Lamictal with some other ADs? It is supposed to be good as an augmenter. Have you thought about combining it with a stimulating AD like Wellbutrin or Parnate?
It may be worth taking the dose up to 200mg for a while - I didn't notice any effect and was ready to give up on it until I'd been taking 200mg for about a month. If still no response I would guess you're not likely to be a Lamictal responder.
