Thanks! Yep, just moody, that's me ;). I'm glad you feel better now, Lamictal just isn't a good drug for everyone.

Rumination was/is a huge problem for me too. SSRIs never touched it, but I wasn't at high doses. I tried Paxil and Prozac and Zoloft. I read a while back that they're really good for OCD but not particularly for obsessive thoughts. That's one of the reasons I left SSRIs behind, plus they numbed me.

For me, anxiety was behind the ruminations, and Abilify (at 10-15 mg but no lower) helped a ton. Also, now, DBT therapy; but DBT requires distance from it to be useful to me, and that couldn't have happened without Abilify.

I've been on most classes of ADs -- SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics. I came to both Lamictal and Abilify purely based on theory and my symptoms. I also take Wellbutrin, but not sure what that's doing for me except it causes depression when I try to discontinue it.

I forget, what meds are you taking again? Would you consider an AP? Sorry for such a long post!
