> QHave you given up on the lamictal? There have been studies that matched the efficacy of low dose imipramine with st. John's Wort. It can speed up the elimination of other meds you may be taking. Also there has been some link with long term use of sjw with cataracts. If you go with sjw make sure you get one standardized for hyperforin at least 3%.
