Hi,
TO be honest,I dont believe lamictal helps much with pure anxiety... but the question is whether u experience pure anxiety or is it a manifestation of a more general mental illness, like bipolar disorder... the thinking amongst many of the canadian elite pdocs is that any agitated depressions, mixed manias, etc. should all be seen as bipolar spectrum illnesses and be treated with mood stabilizers.. and since lamictal can act as a mood stabilizer, it just may help ur anxiety in a round about way... good luck!
