"lamictal combined with seroquel xr has changed the quality of my life. my obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder were masked for many years by the severe depression.  eventually a different doctor realized it was not enough. the lamictal was added and helped to calm my ocd but when the seroquel was added it was awesome; i felt normal. if the lamictal is helping but you still don&#039;t feel right, your doctor may increase the dose. talk to him/her often and don&#039;t minimize a symptom because you think it is too small to mention. some symptoms overlap and may be masking an untreated problem. summary: lamictal works. no side effects. i&#039;m grateful for it every day."
