Your right "gg" hard to believe such a small dose would amount to anything.That sounds like it could be the lamictal, then. I tried Topamax to augment Nardil in the past, and it definitely made me more depressed. I don't remember the dose, but it wasn't very high because I was not on it all that long. Could be lamictal is not the right med for you.

It's so hard to know, isn't it? I'd like to someday ditch the Nardil, and I'll have to if I become pregnant. But I don't want to go back into significant depression, so right now is not a good time for me to try. Too much going on that's stressful. (As if there's ever a good time, eh?)
Take care,
