I think it's good that you are asking other people's opinions, but keep in mind everyone reacts differently to medications and the less you have to be on is obviously better.

==================================
Hi,Krysti,thanks for your reaction and you are right:the fact that Lamictal is working already in MY case(as augmentation to a low dose of Effexor,it doesn't meen that the same combo will fit someone else
As far as your anxiety is concerned,my opinion is that nevermind the CAUSE for it(whether being a result of a masked Depr. etc.)I would suggest you to tackle this issue with Klonopin,which is a WONDER med.
Good luck,
Paul
