Are you supplementing with folic acid??
Its just iv read in numerous places that lamictal results in folate loss, and seen as low folic aid is implemented in lots of depressions anyway........this could lead to a further worsening of the folic acid deficiency and therefore the depression!
"Between 15% and 38% of people with depression have low folate levels in their bodies and those with very low levels tend to be the most depressed"
Obviously i am not a medical expert and everyone reacts differently to meds......this is just a suggestion!!
