Hi Linda,
I wouldn't worry so much about having to drop something if your pdoc added lamictal. And, if he/she did, it may be for the better. Lamictal has been a steady companion for me, and has a pretty good track record. Ever consider lithium? I got the icky-toxity poisoning from it, but before that kicked it, it was the smoothest my brain had felt in years. Just ask for a small, conservative dose. And I agree w/ racer, maybe a new therapist might be the ticket and/or a new approach. CBT has helped me *so* much; I know it's probably scary to think of going to another doctor, but maybe you can find one nonetheless.
All my best,
Man-oh-man
