Greets,
Yeah, I think a MS may be in my future as well (unless, 6 weeks in to Marplan therapy, it is not unusual to feel bursts of a new AD working and then fading, then coming back)--I can't wait to see my pdoc...mood swings suck!
The trouble I had with Lamictal was that it was very difficult to tell if it was working or not. (And I never took it as monotherapy.)
I had great luck with gabapentin years ago, but it pooped out for me as well even at high doses... (part of the reason I'm interested in Lyrica!)...
Good luck..figuring out meds is such a friggin hassle...

Have a tendency to have anger outbursts and be impulsive and yes prone to depression. So play p-doc. How about low dose lithium? Also a lot of anxiety. Did well with neurontin for a while as it smoothed me out. But it pooped out.
