I haven't heard too many stories describing Lamictal monotherapy as being particularly effective in treating unipolar depression. However, some researchers look at unipolar and bipolar disorders as being endpoints along a continuum. Some people who have demonstrated only depression may in fact have a bipolar diathesis. Perhaps these seemingly unipolar people would be responsive to Lamictal. I don't think it is entirely clear what place Lamictal has in the treatmtent of mood disorders. Under what circumstances does it produce long-term robust antidepressant effects?
