[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 324449, member: 7083"] I really thinkg that if it wasn't for the extenuating circumstances, i.e., my physical health, Lexapro would be working fine for me. If it wasn't working, and only 100mg Lamictal, I'd be in very bad shape right now. Actually, it's the combination of Lexapro and Aygestin (synthetic progestin that I take for endometriosis) that really did the trick. There is such a hormonal aspect to my depression. After my heart attack and angioplasty, and me doped up on Dilaudid, I made sure to let my cardiologists know that whatever medications they give me better work with those two because I wasn't changing them. Lamictal has been used off label for years for treatment resistant depression. I can't remember for certain, but I think it's usually used in conjunction with an AD. 100mg worked. Now it's not. I'm going to try the 25mg bump again - only do it at night this time. SW - thanks for the info on Deplin. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it. Thank you for the info and concern, ladies. I really just don't want to add another frimpin' doctor to my list. And from the way things are going with difficult child 2 and psychiatrists, I have no faith in the ones around here. [/QUOTE]
