Lamictal has been the most effective uni-polar anti-depressant med for me and has worked for the last 2 years. There is a caveat in that it gives me a mood boost about an hour after I take it in the morning which then goes away after about 5 hours. I take 50mg and have noticed that increasing the dose doesn't really make a huge difference. I also take Neurontin and Cymbalta which both help as well.
I am by no means depression free but without the Lamictal I would be a lot less productive in the morning! It really helps at work.
