lamotragine for reason in some people does help depression, and in others sometims it can just blunt the mood, it's good for stabilization but may require higher doses, but my personal view if it's not working a higher dose may not help, there's lithium and nuerontin you could consider
that or adding a stimulating antidepressant such as effexor or wellbutrin, or prozac
if the nuerotransmitters are not enough that's what causes depression, lamotragine is indicated for "bipolar depression" so....it may help with stablization of nuerons but if there's not enough serotonin or dopamine that's what causes unipoler depression
but here's a link on nuerontin and lamotragine
