I think the adrenal complex is more for burned out people that need to replenish Yin, so it is more neutral to cooling. Rehmannia Endurance would be similar in that regards, but Rehmannia *Vitalizer* will add more spark while also replenishing Yin. Without adequate kidney Yang, you'll have no drive, no ability to follow through on things, less confidence, etc. You have to feel the difference to believe it.
Oh, I also got the rash on Lamictal too, although I'm not sure if it was helping me. But not too long after that I stumbled upon a working combination of meds, including an adequate mood stabilizer, so keep on working at it until you find what works. Only after you get properly treated will you realize how much of your potential is not being expressed because of the illness.
I've become interested in a lot of things I'd long since given up on because I just couldn't muster the drive to continue working at them due to depression. Chinese medicine happens to be one of those things, as a matter of fact. I'm now poised to start learning directly in a clinic on a volunteer basis in a few weeks. I'd long given up on the dream of learning Chinese medicine, but as fate would have it, I was wrong.
