> Once i reached 100 mg Lamictal, my depression disappeared. But there is still one symptom left i'm stuck with and it's anhedonia. Just what the heck do i do now? Do i wait it out, or add an antidepressant to the Lamictal? I've already tried Wellbutrin, but it did jacksh*t for me. So that one is out of the question.

> I really could use some advice on how to deal with this.First of all, I think you should explore higher dosages of Lamictal. Second, you should be evaluated for a bipolar spectrum illness. Knowing this might help your doctor choose the most appropriate treatment for you. For instance, in order to prevent mania and enhance the action of Lamictal, Abilify might be helpful. As for antidepressants, in my experience, drugs that help with anhedonia include Nardil, nortriptyline, Effexor, and Cymbalta. You might also want to research Brintellix.
