Hi,
Lamictal is an anti-convulsant which is also approved for use with bipolar affective disorder. It tends to help with the depression side of bipolar, and it's now being used in unipolar depression as well. Irritability can be a sign of depression, so that may be why your pdoc suggested it.I take 100 mg Lamictal to augment 52.5 mg Nardil. It's helped to kick residual depression and helps me keep Nardil side effects to a minimum by keeping the dose low.
