No experience with lamictal. But it sounds like you would be a much better candidate for Nardil than Parnate. Nardil in my opinion seems to be much better for social anxiety and ocd than Parnate, at least for most people. Also, is your depression of the unmotivated, anergic, apathetic empty kind or the overemotional highly sensitive deeply painful kind? If the latter that would even further suggest to me that Nardil would be preferable.
It's also possible that the seroquel is exacerbating your depression as i assume it could be very tiring and pleasure-reducing (as are most if not all APs).> Presently on Parnate 40mg /lamictal 200 morning/nite/ serequal 25 mg at nite ..Have been on parnate since august ..i am in negotiation with conservative pschdoc to increase parnate ..depression ocd social anxiety are increasing,hence more misery ..question could the lamictal play a part in the increase of misery. Doing my best to distract ocd by all things the nintendo ..with limited success dependent on concentration etc ..any ideas..one more thing very soon to start clonazpam which will help from my limited understanding.
