> I'm interested in hearing more about how you're doing with Lamictal SAMe inositol (which I never heard of). I'm on gabitril (mood stabilizer) but experiencing some depression and have wondered about adding either SAMe or St. John's Wort. The SJW, by the way, made me hypomanic in the past when I was not on a mood stabilizer.

Good news is (and it is early) the SAMe has in fact really reduced the depressions (mayve from a 5 on a scale of 1 - 10, to a 1) and the inositol helps take the edge off the SAMe. I also find the inositol to have a mild mood elevating effect and acts as a mild anti-anxiety agent for me.
