Polarbear thanks so much, your reply gave me much needed hope right now. I've had a look at Lamictal info on the net and it does look promising, and to know it's really helped you does make me feel better (I too am depression dominated). You know Phillipa I was so upset at the end of this appoinment that I didn't ask for more details about what mood stabilisers he was considering- he did mention valproate though, and the info about that has put me off. Linkadge, I take your point about pdocs trying to keep you under meds. But I'm sure this isn't the case here 'cause he said the idea long term is to get me off drugs altogether, just therapy. Also, I'm in the UK and he's an NHS doctor so nothing to gain from me being there... I guess that's one advantage of this system- you know they have no vested interest.
Thanks so much for replies- this forum has great people, I feel a bit better just from support
