[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why lamictal is more "hard core" than multiple ssri and a stimulant? Someone explain. It's actually one of the epilepsy drugs with fewer side effects other than the rash. I personally am far more worried about say Zoloft for kids. [/quote] I'm not an MD nor a neuroresearcher, but I am a provider who works full time with adult psych patients. My short answer to your questions: because the mood stabilizers seem to have long-lasting effects on the brain. Something that looks like, to the moderately trained eye, like a permanent change to baseline. Here is actual research: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC149791/ Such a change might be an improvement, but it might not.[/quote]
