Abstract
|
|
|
|
The anticonvulsant lamotrigine has been reported to be efficacious and well tolerated in treatment of bipolar patients. Moreover, there were several reports that lamotrigine was effective for patients with treatment-resistant bipolar depression. Nevertheless, there was no report regarding the efficacy of lamotrigine as an augmentation agent in treatment-resistant bipolar depression in Korea. Here we present one case of a female patient suffering from treatment-resistant bipolar depression in which lamotrigine was successfully used as an augmentation treatment.
