Dianne:
I know how you feel. Only I can't cry, I can't laugh, I don't experience joy , only depression. My medications have made me flat and numb. You can still feel . That is great!!!
I'll tell you what has helped me lately. The sun has been out for three days in a row, and it has rained all winter here. I have gone to the park and walked three miles both Monday and Tuesday. Getting outside and doing a brisk walk helps with serotonin levels. Even if you don't feel like leaving the house. I had a depressed winter and I gained back a lot of weight. Last year I was really motivated and got in great shape. I was exercising 6 days a week. These past few months it has been a chore to get out of bed and take a shower.
Spring is almost here, maybe the sunshine will help a bit. Plus exercise. Hang in there!!! I wouldn't worry about the lamictal, not everybody has the itching reaction.
