Hi CEK,
I have pretty bad migraines, and get them often, so I can't tell what's Lamictal and what's migraine. I took Topamax and the headaches were actually worse - it's supposed to help with migraines - and it made me depressed at a very low dose.
I'm still on Lamictal, it's been 9 - 10 weeks now. I sure don't see why it would hurt to at least try Provigil to see if it helps. Why suffer when something else added to the lamictal might help. I took Strattera, and at a low dose it gave me tons of motivation, no focus or concentration, and at a bit higher dose I had suicidal thoughts, but the low dose was good.
Good luck, I hope your pdoc listens to you...one of them anyway.
