> I dug up this abstract indicating the medicine down regulates 5ht-1a receptors. Is the medicine some kinda SRI?

i think that if serotonin receptors are decreased, serotonin action is decreased. when serotonin shoots out of the presynapse and onto the postsynapse where the receptors are, that is when the activity happens; when less binding occurs cuz there are less holes to bind to, there's less action. so, lamictal would theoretically inhibit serotonin activity.
