Yes, and Wellbutrin as it happens. For a long time, my psych wanted to stick to just adjusting dosages on the Lamictal. Not sure if it was feeling that it should be able to do it by itself or hesitation over knowing of my bad past reaction to ADs (mis-dx'd and mismedicated with ADs alone a few years back by a GP with disasterous results). But a long-endured depression just wasn't budging. I'd asked about the possibility of adding them a few times before it pretty well came to begging to at least try it, as I couldn't take much more. She relented, possibly because I'd put emphasis on "try", and pointed out that, given past history, anything problematic would show pretty quickly. Then we'd know. Oh, and that my SO would keep an eye on too.

It did help. The other thing I had to watch for was increase in irritability or outright rage, as I can definitely "go" there. This I debated for awhile (if it was happening or not), but the mood chart didn't really show it. Not that it doesn't happen, but the levels/frequency are not out of line with "me" (and still certainly less than before medicated at all!) and the benefit would be worth it anyway. It's not as if that'd never happen w/o it.

When you did get yanked off the ADs, was there more than one? Was there more than one at a time? Was Wellbutrin one of them? Since your currect Pdoc only took you off it with your permission and for the purpose of seeing if being off it was problematic (ie. depression), and that question seems to have been answered, wouldn't he/she be amenable to putting you back on it??
