My therapist and I were talking about this yesterday, ((I don't want a debate, just other's honest stories)) This past year or so of being on medication I have been getting worse. My depression has been the worst is has EVER been in my life. When I brought it up in therapy yesterday she was fine with trying it- even brought up going to a naturalist if I wanted. I am going to start DBT classes and would have a plan in place. I see my pdoc next week and will talk about this with her. I am interested in what she will have to say. My therapist did wonder though (since I went to a pdoc mainly for anger/erratic moods) if once the lamictal evened out the hypo (anger) if it dipped me too low. I don't know. I don't have any side effects from what I am on, they just don't seem to work at all so maybe it can't hurt to try without.

edit- should add that I was on Prozac up till 2 months or so ago, and I take xanax at night for sleep
