I'VE BEEN ON LAMICTAL FOR @2 1/2 YRS AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I DO FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT LIFE WHEN IT GETS ROUGH!!! THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS ME REMEMBER I'M WORTH SOMETHING TO SOMEONE IS WHEN I THINK OF MY BABY :) JUST THINK OF ONE PERSON THAT YOU ARE VERY MEANINGFUL TO AND IT'LL HELP YOU SNAP BACK TO THE GOOD LIFE. OK MAYBE A DRINK CAN HELP WITH THAT TOO BUT THATS ME I DONT WANT YOU TO START DRINKING CAUSE WHAT I SAY.

I took lamictal 7 years it helped my depression. Since i been off it my depression has went down hill Lamcital is strong medication to me compared to all the others I have been on. My doctor had me on lamictal and zonegran together where they worked together. An most epilepsy medications are depression pills as well as all our bodies are different so they may have to switch around your medications. I hope things get better for you.
