Thanks for all the replies everyone.

I think I am going to just go back on Lamictal(now that I have a clear mind and will be able to distinguish what specific medicines are doing). Maybe I'll just start with that, and if it doesn't work try an SSRI like Lexapro again, but in combination.

So many of the times I started a medication I was using opiates daily, so it was really hard to tell if anything worked(because I was nodding off and high :P). I have been reading about the SNRI's, as they seem relatively new to me. So they are just basically an SSRI with added chemicals that affect the noripinephrine and thus affecting dopamine?

I'm sure once I start either therapy or group counseling, if I end up choosing to, it could help quite a bit more than any other medicine. Same with exercise....but it's so hard to go out and run. You know what I mean?
