I too have tried almost every anti-depressant conceivable and was ready to try the ECT's when my doctor said - one more try: Lamictal. I am so amazed to tell you that it has made an incredible difference in my life. There are very few side effects, actually I've had none. I think that's a good sign that you're on the right med. No weight gain! The frustrating part is that you must do the creeper dose (because of potential for rash.) It takes a while to get up to therapeutic dose. I needed to get to 200 before it started to work and am stable at 250mg. I say, give it a try. It's not an antidepressant and I think that's good. They suck.
