> > Can Lamictal be taken by itself with no other meds for depression or bipolar? Definitely feeling depressed again and have appt with my pdoc. I know he will ask what I want to do so was wondering about Lamictal. Don't want to take Gabapentin.

I was on Celexa for many years and it helped. Been on quite a few. He suggested as I've gotten older and I'm rarely not depressed that dysthymia or chronic depression might be the diagnosis. Were you diagnosed with Dysthymia? Wondering if any antidepressants in particular are better.
