With my Lamictal. Because as far as i can tell, Lamictal is making me more normal, rational, less crazy, but I still get really down.
What anti depressants do you take, especially with Lamictal.

Hi widgets,

I'm glad you asked this question. I was taking Zoloft at its highest dosage (200mg) and although it helped somewhat, it wasn't quite doing the trick. So we added Lamictal. Boom, we found the jackpot for me. Now I have been doing well about 90% of the time, which is AMAZING considering my struggles with mental health issues so far!

So although zoloft may not be the exact med for you, I can vouch for the fact that Lamictal + an antidepressant can be a very helpful combo.

Best of luck to you!

For about two years I took Cymbalta with Lamictal and it worked well. When I had another depressive episode we added Abilify and it worked wonders!

Now I had another suicidal depression and my pdoc put me on Emsam, an MAOI which is an older antidepressant but it works on seretonin, dopamine, and norephinephrine. It seems, fingers crossed, to be working. I am not sure because I am still having maintenance ECT and that could be the reason I am doing well right now.
