Lamictal is like my security blanket too! I've been on it for five years now. And before my pregnancy when I had to go off it I'd been on it for four years I think? I have such bad side effects to pretty much everything. It's the only med I've been able to tolerate well. I'm scared I'd go off it and end up on a mood stabilizer roller coaster because I'd have bad side effects from everything else! I know she thinks it's not working anymore, but I think it's working as a pretty good antidepressant overall. I haven't had a severe depression in three years.
I have to somehow get a new pdoc. I don't know if I'll be able to go back after my last appointment.
