Lamictal has done wonders for me (that and getting off SSRIs). The main thing is the slow increase - you have to stick to it and not try to speed it up. I had headaches at first but they went away after a month or so. Also, it increased my depression, so my doc added Wellbutrin, which seems to working well, too.
