I guess i just have to hold on til then, tho i've heard bad things about Lamictal in these parts.
Lamictal was a pain while titrating but once I hit the theraputic dose my depression went away very quickly. It worked really well for me.

Only suggestion I have for you is to request a liver function test about once a year. It's a blood test your doctor can do. There's a known reaction with Lamictal that affects your liver and you might not be aware it's happening. It happened to me after years of taking it.

Hang in there.
