I agree with azalea,
I, too, am struggling with which to augment Parnate with. My gut is telling me Lamictal. It just seems that Lamictal will work a little better on depression. You have to go slow cause of the rash thing, but when you've been depressed for a while, better to get it right. I'd run the lithium/nortrip contraindication by your PDoc/Doc.
Good luck with your choice,
~Jade
