Hi.

Lamictal is starting to be used more often to treat unipolar depression. However, it is rarely used successfully as monotherapy. You should definitely use it as a second drug to augment your primary antidepressant.

Good luck.

Well, I'm taking 15mg of remeron and it isn't doing enough. Maybe I will see if my doctor would consider adding it. When I'm ready to start the med go round again. Just don't have the heart to do it right now.

Yes, I'm using it in conjunction with Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Seroquel.
