I don't know they "whys" of Lamictal. I do know that my pdoc was certain it would smooth my moods and ease my depression. It didn't as I recall because it made my hair fall out in handfulls and I got so upset about that it was hard to pay attention to the other aspects of my being. Things were also complicated by a recent, unwanted move to an unloved house in equatorial NJ heat, a grumpy husband (no wonder!) and no job. There were lots of things impinging on how I was "feeling."
We went out of town and I forgot the lamictal. I felt almost immediately physicially better and decided to continue to not take it since I had an up coming pdoc appointment. I couldn't believe that hair loss slowed, I felt more like myself despite the fact that our house remained cramped and I without life meaning--I had more energy and humor and I put those pills on a shelf. Forever.
But they do work for a lot of people.
