Post Body

I've been on Lamictal (150mg) for just under a year. Using my app to track my state means I can see that I've been getting increasingly more depressed since the holidays. At first I thought it was just 'January blues' with loss of apetite and an inability to do things I enjoy. I also began to blame the weather (dark here in the UK around 4pm) for not being able to start my day. But today, I actively had suicidal ideation for the first time in ages.

Wondering if anyone has experience upping the dose and/or adding a SSRI.
