Has anyone been prescribed the drug Lamictal?

A well known doctor has prescribed Lamictal for me for mood stabilization. He explained that a lot of times depression is the diagnosis when it's really not and bipolar could be the diagnosis. There is bipolar one and bipolar two according to him. I've been on antidepressants for many years. Anyway, my question is that I feel more depressed now than I did before and it seems to be all the time when it was only one and off before taking Lamictal. Yes, I am going to report this to him of course but I am just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them and can give me some information. Please no judgement responses. Thanks.
