Me either, and you're right I didn't have that reaction with any other drug. Lexapro and Wellbutrin didn't do anything, neither did ritalin, and pristiq made seemed only help a smidgen. I do think there is a lot of "blame the patient" in psychiatry. Rather than say drugs can make people happy a little more often than normal they say someone has a mood stability issue.
Now if lamictal doesn't work then my diagnosis will probably change so I don't really care. I actually think I like my pdoc and I think she is just as confused by the situation as I am.
Unfortunately, I'm more pharmacologically minded than most psychiatrist who do things by trial and error. I like to figure out what actions of the drug helped and which ones hurt through trials and research.
