Lamictal works for me. I use it for Bipolar I and it seems to have a mild antidepressant effect. I take 100mg now, but years ago I took 200mg, and that maybe had a stronger antidepressant effect. Like you, I found the cognitive impairment at doses above 100mg a bit much so that's why I've kept it at 100mg this time. One of the unexpected gains this time was how it helped with neuropathic/ fibromyalgia pain. It still works great for that, maybe even better than it does for my mood.
