Hi Colin,
Excuse me for jumping in here. I have been taking Lamictal 150mg. with Depakote 750mg. I can't say the Lamictal has done a d*** thing for me - maybe made me more of a "zombie" (total fatigue and depressed). I think your idea to try it alone or with Lith. would probably be wise. I have received no activating or AD effect from it. I tried adding Prozac (first 20mg/day then tried 10mg./day for depression).....what a disaster....got lots of nausea and dizziness.
As for my DX, 2 pdocs say unipolar major depression, 2 say bipolar II. In any case the ADs don't work and the ACs put me to sleep. Re: your effect/affect comment - may make a fool of myself here (haven't viewed the complete thread). Effect is the result of an action Ex: an AD may have a good effect on depression. Affect refers to mood Ex: Bipolar II is an affective mood disorder.
Best regards,
Geezer
