Btw, >"For this matter you should prob stick high dose chelated mag alongside it too?", are you talking about magnesium? I use to take magnesium in the past but stopped for some reason. Think i will buy a container at next visit to the pharmacy.

>At the moment i am only taking it with l-theanine,
relora, a high strength multi-vitamin along with sublingual b12. I also get twice weekly magnesium injections and now taking 800mcg folic acid with the lamictal. Might add the rhodiola back in aswell and see how i go on?! In the past ive had my vitamin levels tested and have balanced my them. I do sometimes take klonopin in social situs and when my sleep isnt too gud!!I must tell you im not some sort of clean living hippy (well i didnt used 2 be anyway!) but the failures of my "conventional" ad trials has kinda forced me to pursue the "natural" path.
Yeah slogars chelated magnesium is worth a go, not
oxide (no more absorbable than sand) or citrate-not particularaly useful in the body!see....... http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html
Raising the lamictal dose sounds like a good idea but i really cant praise the theanine enough, it has no known drug interactions-and you should no within an hour of 200-300mg if its gona work for you. Also if you feel that 1 of your meds isnt workin for you, you maight even get better results with the lamictal if you cut it out, but i wud see what your pdoc says 1st!!
gud luck, hope u start getting some better results
