I like lamictal alot, and it is very effective for depressive episodes of bipolar. If you get a rash go to the ER.

I am unipolar.... which I suppose is bipolar but a couple octives lower. ?

That would work as we are trying to clip the bottom off of the depression.

Thanks for responding.

Good to hear. It is a good med, and can really be helpful when AD's aren't enough. Why? we do not know why.

So far no antid.... just this... It has been suggested that he might add neurotin but so far... just this and if it works... I would be pleased.

Thanks for your response.

I use it when ADs are not indicated, and this can happen for many reasons. I wish you well.

Remember if you get a rash go to the ER. It is rare.
