Hi,The problems that you have listed can be due to depression. Although you have mentioned the list of medications you were taking, I would have preferred to know the duration as well the symptoms which made you seek treatment. Going by the medicines, you may be a case of bipolar disorder or less likely, unipolar depression.      In case you are a case of bipolar disorder, I would like to get a lithium level done and then optimise your treatment accordingly. If lithium levels are adequate, I would consider increasing dose of lamotrigine. In any case, considering you are having symptoms now, your medicines need a review. Consult your psychiatrist and discuss your problems at the earliest.Best wishes.
