The thing that bothers me is that if you go on to the GSK clinical trial registry, you see the results of all clinical trials investigating the psychiatric uses of lamotrigine. That one indication (delaying recurrence of depression or whatever) was like the only positive trial among dozens of other failed trials.
It seems kind of cheekey to me to test the drug for every single possible indication. By sheer chance, one of those trials will fair better than placebo. If you retested the drug for that particular indication, I wonder if it would pass?
