Okay then, thanks both of youWhat about SE for Lamictal? Would you consider SE for Lamictal worse than for Nortriptyline?
If I go for Lamictal, should I continue with another AD such as Lexapro or maybe even Nortriptyline?
Have to add that my depression originally broke out in february 2008. Has been upps and downs since then, no matter what combination I tried it will not stay good.
In general I have improved as most of my melancholic features (early wakening, nausea, lack of appetite, morning worsening) have disappaered since Nortriptyline in a small dose came into my combo.I am also wondering if I really need Remeron (30 mg) in the evening and if it is doing more harm than good in regards of the melancholic features?
