Hi MoparFan91
Thanks for describing your history.
I had SSRIs some years ago and I think they were what triggered the cycling for me initially. At the worst point I had ultraradian cycling (brought on by other factors) then things leveled out into cycles of about 2 weeks or so.
I do still get really depressed on the lamictal but it is definitely less 'hellish'. Before I took it they were like being in a different place; sort of like a hell place, a long way under the ground. Now it's like I am at least in the normal world only I just feel incredibly bad.
I am wondering now how much protection mood stabilisers can offer against the effect of the antidepressants on the cycling. I would be scared to take them myself now.
