Sorry the lamotrigine didn't work out for you. (I read your initial post and was going to say give it some time to work. I'm on an Abilify/Lamotrigine combo and it helps)

Med-wise: Have you tried other anticonvulsants--tegretol/depakote/trileptal/gabapentin/topamax? Or even lithium?(usually used for mania but I've found it's helpful for de
pression too). Are newer atypicals like Vraylar, Rexulti, or Latuda options to try?

What's your lifestyle like? Could there be anything majorly contributing to the depression or a lot of little things adding up that you could change? Is your therapist helpful or do you end the session feeling worse?
