Thanks for your response!

I am not on any other psych meds at all. Antidepressants work just fine for me but after 11 years on Celexa I had added side effects and it became to be too much so they took me off it. My life has been a nightmare since then. I have tried many antidepressants but they all give me a rash/itching or too many side effects.

I do not have mood swings really but I am irritable with the depression and have a lot of physical symptoms from the depression.

All doctors that have suggested Lamictal have been psych docs besides one. So three pdocs suggest I take Lamictal or a mood stabilizer but none of them have mentioned bipolar until the doctor today. Which I think is odd becuse I've never been manic or even hypomanic. I just have depression and anxiety and it's not cyclical it's always there.

Not sure I believe I am bipolar becuse I've never had any symptoms of bipolar unless there is something I'm missing... She mentioned something about bipolar depression.. Guess I'll have to do some research on that.
