>I get the impression Lamictal isn't so great as a monotherapy for unipolar depression as it is for depression in people who have bipolar tendencies.
That's what I've read too. I have recurring unipolar depression. Currently I take Lamictal with Zoloft and Remeron. The only reason I try Lamictal is because of its mood stabilizing properties, in my case, prevent future relapses. It doesn't do anything for my depression, I wonder if it still can prevent relapses if the "base" ADs kick in. Raising the dose would be logical, but it makes so tired. We'll see, I will meet my pdoc at wednesday.
