I'm getting a new pdoc next month (insurance is changing) so I guess we'll see if she's got any insights.
Anyway, thanks again.

Yeah I remember you recently came off effexor, that certainly doesnt help the situation. I hope the lamictal helps you. It sounds like you are working really hard at therapy so you will start to notice that paying off too soon. When you can start to diffuse and deal with the triggers you will notice a difference.
There are many people who ignore that triggers are causing their mood states who end up drugged up to the eyeballs with life long issues because they never address that problem. It is fantastic you acknowledge that this is not beyond your control by realising the triggers are causing it. I have faith in you! Another step closer to recovery.
