Hi
The reason you are probably having problems on monotherapy with AD's is the absence of a mood stabilizer. Lamictal is one of the best mood stabilizers out there with a low side effect profile. You have to be very patient, as this drug must be increased slowly to reach a therapeutic response. Being on a mood stabilizer will allow your antidepressant to work the way it should and keep your moods more even. You may need a less dose of your antidepressant while on this drug. It has AD properties that are an added bonus compared to others.
