> ceeLamictal should definitely help your depression. It's been the cornerstone of my "cocktail" for the last couple years. Only sad thing is that you need to taper up very slowly. But once you start getting to 50mg+ you should notice a good AD effect. Some notice it at 25mg even. And for me it was really side effect free. I AM bipolar but personally I think it's better than SSRIs for standard depression....no sexual side effects/etc
I currently take 150mg.
Good luck on your trial!
