Hi- I am going to try to keep this question as short as I can. Basically here is the rundown- I have had problems with depresion most of my life. I have been in and out of college for over ten years with no completion. I have a very clear seasonal pattern to my depression. I started Wellbutrin 1 1/2 years ago and soon added Prozac. Both help with anxiety, energy, and socialability, but I still have periods of depression which sometimes feel lower than the depression I had before the antidepressants. Lamictal was added for a while but I am not sure it helped much. I am starting to think that I fall somewhere in the bipolar spectrum. I have never been manic and I don't think I have been hypomanic, but there is a definite cycle going on. And I wanted to know if others have had this experience. Has anyone had success with mood stabilizers for seasonal patterns of depression? If so what helped?
Thanks
