The second reference says that lamotrigine as mono-therapy as not more effective than placebo.
The third reference with 32 case studies says that 46% had a reduction of 30%,-54% didn't respond at all.
Some have a partiel response on that combination and very few a full recovery on it. I have tried 600.mg in a combination with a SSRI without any effect. But, it is worth a try as it might have some effect in some.
The post comes with some unfounded claims both in it references and in experiences from several people in this forum; That personalisation disorder can be cured with a combination of a SSRI and lamotrigine. There is no basis for such a general claim that is it a cure for depersonalisation disorder.
It CAN cure depersonalisation disorder, that's all that matters dude, don't be salty. Obviously ts got cured by this combo so congrats to him. Because of posts like this I'm willing to take the shot and try Lamotrigine with a positive outlook on a possible cure.
By debunking ts claims you're spreading more doubt and insecurity to people reading these forums. People that are already full of anxiety, doubt, hopelesness and just trying to find a way out.
Ofcourse this forum can't be all positive and rose-coloured and its your own right to say whatever you wanna say, but please keep in mind that most people on this forum are very fragile and desperate.
I wrote as the as the literature says that there are benefits in 50% with a 30% reduction and it was worth trying, but to say it is a cure is false. There is no basis for such a claim in the litteratur and with so many who has tried it with some partiel effect in some.
