I also take Lamictal. I would highly encourage you to communicate with your MD so everyone is on the same page. I am a firm believer that meds only do so much as I have been on several in my time but nothing has ever really helped. They make me stable but the depression and anxiety are still lingering. That is exactly why I am attempting to work through all the garbage inside me that I have never dealt with in an attempt to gain insight and personal growth. Also, the only true way to know if a med will be beneficial is to try it. Best wishes to you!
