Thank you for your really informative post. I do have a doc -- have for years. (You are right, as I read and think more, this should be on the alternative site...) I am a holistic nutrition student too, so am trying to straddle the two worlds. It's tough, as my depression is life-long and fairly intractible. Lamictal worked very well and I took it for several years; dosing needed to go up periodically. At one point (300 mg) I started to have trouble sleeping, dry mouth & hair loss. My doc weaned me off it, and I have been completely off it for almost 3 weeks, but with more depression, a lot more. (My bi-polar is rapid cycling type 2 with the manic episodes more a lack of depression than any true mania.) I will definitely follow up on the alternative site...Thank you again.
