Hi Scott,

To be honest, after years of med trials, I was content with my Lexapro-Klonopin regime. Off-label Lamictal use had never crossed my mind. So, no, until my pdoc suggested adding lamotrigine, I didn't think I needed a boost - or rather, I thought I'd run out of options.

I should add that my depression, though severe, is technically situational, as it was triggered by several traumas in my past. Though meds got me out of the hole, I still rely heavily on therapy, peer support, etc for treatment.

I'm going to ask my pdoc about her rationale for adding Lamictal - right now, I'm guessing that she wants to make sure we've tried absolutely *everything* before settling on any given regime?

Thanks, Scott :)
