That approach could be interesting for you. I do think lamictal helps with the smaller ups and downs that other stabilizers and AE do not address. I recall you have mood dips or drifts.
My last doc was gay. I liked him personally, but he did not give me enough guidance, so I was left with too much responsibility for my own treatment and not enough input. He did recommend ect, and even gave me a book about it to read, but I was terrified! That might be under the umbrella over-medication :-). Usually I end up with male shrinks by default. My first shrink, and the one who gave me perhaps the most accurate diagnosis was a woman. I was like a clean slate then, with no prior dx's to obscure the picture.
