> Well, they said the Lamictal would lift my depression and even me out, while Seroquel would help with the anxiety and sleep. I know every med affects everyone differently, but that's what I hope for ... any thoughts?
I think it could possibly work, but it would make more sense to me to try one at a time rather than both. I'd go with the Seroquel first, because that works faster and also has some antidepressant and mood stabilizing properties.Why Lamictal? You may have mentioned a reason, I'm not sure, but there are lots of other antidepressants if you aren't bipolar. Although Lamictal probably can work for nonbipolar depression, it's much more commonly used for bipolar. Do you have severe mood swings or bipolarish symptoms (agitation, irritability, activation, racing thoughts, etc)?
