"lamictal along with abilify has been a lifesaver for me.  no antidepressant would work for me and i was feeling hopeless.  i started taking abilify and felt a little better. once my doctor added lamictal, i was back to my old self.  i most note that you have to titrate up on the medicine no sooner than every 2 weeks.  once i hit the 100mg mark i started to feel better."
