I am getting frustrated with meds. I thought I finally found a decent combo - Lamictal and Lexapro, but I just had to quit the lamictal cold turkey last week because I got a rash. I see my P-Doc tomorrow, what other meds are on the table for depression (possible bipolar). The Lamictal worked great and I'm sad I have to come off it. It seems like other mood stabalizers have more crappy side effects including weight gain which is really problematic because I have a lot of body issues and I will not be able to handle gaining weight from a med.

I know everyone is different in terms of how meds work etc, just looking for some stories of what worked for you if you take mood stabilizers or had to switch from Lamictal to something else. Thanks.
