Hi Garnet,
I can see that you're upset, its frustrating when Docs don't take enough time to answer what seems like crucial questions to us. So were left to research on our own. The problem with that is sometimes we manage to come across fairly rare side effects and we're left to decide on bad information.
I have a prescription for Lamictal that I'm going to start soon. I'm not bi-polar, Docs commonly prescribe Lamictal as an augment to an A/D. That's what I'm using it for. I'm also getting ready to switch PDocs. I think its important to work with someone you're comfortable with. Especially if you're not comfortable with your diagnosis. If you think you're ADD, you have nothing to hide! Get that checked. Why waste time on A/D's if it turns out you are ADD.
Good Luck!
