Hi- I have been on lamictal for 5 weeks and had never felt so depressed in my entire life. I, like you was ready to completely give it up. I cried nonstop everyday for no reason. I am currenly on 200mg/day and just a few days ago started to feel better. I don't know why in the beginning it feels hopeless, but I think you should give it a little more time. Maybe ask your doctor about a low dosage ssri. I take 20mg paxil and that maybe has also helped as well. Do you take anything else? I as well have tried lithium and hated it. I hope you feel better.
