In reply to LAMICTAL 4 DEPRESSION? C BIG QUEST 4 short version, posted by femlite on November 26, 2003, at 14:53:23
Hi Femlite,
Actually Lamictal WITH Lithium is the most successful combo for the treatment of the bipolar II disorder. I am told by my psychiatrist that this combo is the Cadillac one. I admit it works nicely for me and many others.
Lithium alone isn't very effective to prevent a depressive episode. And Lamictal alone is often not enough by itself to maintain mania at bay.
In unipolar depression (depression only), the Lamictal is often used with another agent, like an antidepressant, to prevent depression.
