> I've just been on imipramine, it wasn't helping enough with the depression(well at all really) and was just making me sleep too much.I'm wondering if you might benefit from an add on such as Lamictal to augment you AD. What were your symptoms like prior to going on meds? Age, sleep patterns, energy patterns, what degree of anxiety did you experience. Free floating, situational, etc.. Why I ask is because when I was on monotherapy with an AD, I was extremely fatigued and felt like my limbs weighed a ton. I slept alot, and was in a fog. I had some mixed states as well. Also have SAD and seasonal changes with energy levels. Soft bipolar.
