Karen-
I know how terrible it is to try 1000 drugs and then think of trying another. It's like, just give up already! But then you feel so awful...
Anyway, I just wanted to say I've been on lamictal for ultradian cycling (different from depression, I know) but a lot of people have real success with lamictal and depression! If you haven't tried it yet, I really recommend it. I know you mentioned severe allergies but I too get hives even if you scrape my skin with something, and I haven't gotten the rash on lamictal. Just demand that your doctor start you on 12.5 of 25 mg. Granted it will take about half a year to work up, but that may be better than trying nothing at all!
Best of luck to you!
