Marsyas replied: "Lamotrigine isn't actually an anti-depressant, it's an epilepsy drug that is also used as a mood stabilizer, ie, balancing depression & mania & preventing the moods shifting between them.
I have been on lamotrigine for 5 months, and it was excellent for me. (way better than the only other mood stabilizer i was on: Depakene, it was very bad FOR ME, made me feel like a zombie).
you can read more about it's uses in psychiatry here:
As for your question, depression drugs effect vary a lot from person to person, one drug being better than another is a totally subjective opinion that vary a lot from someone to another.
For example, i actually liked Prozac a lot (been on it for a long time), and to some degree zoloft too. but i hated Effexor & Wellbutrin. another person will rank them in an exact opposite way.
the best way is to ask your doctor, though sometimes they tend to favor specific drug(s) and prescribe them frequently based on their experience from another patients, Still, they are your best adviser. (better than fellow patients subjective opinions)."

The give you a numb feeling that comes with many side effects..it is common to gain 20 or 30 pounds..or 20 kgs..Anti depressants are serious brain medication and are overly prescribed. Most depression does NOT need anti depressants. Doctors and pill makers get rich off this stuff..

Sorry, meant to ask if there is a authorized GENERIC manufacturer of lamotrigine? An authorized generic is chemically identical to a particular brand-name drug, but the brand-name manufacturer authorizes it to be marketed in a generic version.
Ol' Blue Eyes Is Dead replied: "I've never been prescribed Lamotrigine, nor do I know anyone who has, so all I could do was google the information; take the following for what it's worth.
At# the question is asked "Is there a generic version of Lamotrigine?" Following the link provided ( ), we learn that there are at least five such manufacturers: Apotex Corporation, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Roxane Laboratories Inc., Sandoz, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. I hope this is the info you were seeking."
