Med_empowered, I think you're right.
>Maybe you could up the Lamictal or add another mood stabilizer? You could also try something like BuSpar or Provigil or a traditional stimulant like Dexedrine, Ritalin, Adderall, etc. to help with some of the depressive symptoms.
I've gone up to 400mg with the Lamictal and I'm not sure if the last 50 mg made much difference.The BuSpar might be my next option; I still have to read about that one. I remember something about it being good for anxiety and I'm very anxious these days.
I had Dex before and it was good for a while and then it made me worse. I never combined it with Lamictal before but maybe it won't help to go back to it either.
