It is very important to tell your doctor about everything you are going through. I often deal with depression, but have found that when I am put on an antidepressant I become manic and it takes awhile to stabilize me. Like you, I am also taking Lamictal and it has helped me A LOT. At times my psychiatrist will adjust the Lamictal to deal with my depression. It does take awhile for the doctors to find the medications that work right for you so just hang in there. I hope that you have a good support system. When I was first diagnosed (in 2000) I had a couple of friends that helped me get through the rough times.
