In reply to Lamictal side effects - itch! » HenryO, posted by Barbara Cat on August 4, 2003, at 2:49:50
I have unipolar, treatment resistent depression. My response to medication has been at best minimal, and this includes every type of antidepressant and almost all of their varieties. I have also been through a series of ECT treatments with no effective result. For 18 months I have been off all antidepressants and am pleased to be without their side effects. However, I remain depressed. In response to my resignation, my psychiatrist has recommended I consider Lamictal. Are their people out there who share my experience and have had results, good, bad, or nil, from the drug? Is it worth the effort? The absence of side effects, most prominently weight gain, from other antidepressants has been almost worth the emotional wasteland I inhabit. Thanks
