I agree with the above post, if I read it correctly. I think long term SSRI use messes one up. I'd say slowly taper off the SSRI and see what the Lamictal alone is like. SSRI's were not good for me after about two years, but Lamictal by itself has been pretty good. Those SSRI's take a long time to leave your system. Be patient and when you start to feel awful boost the Lamictal a bit. I have gone through periods in which I felt my meds weren't working at all. Only to find out when I went off them that they had in fact been keeping me from experiencing something far worse.
