Antisuicidal Effect of Lamotrigine Augmentation in Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Case Report

While there remains insufficient evidence in the literature for a clinical recommendation of the use of lamotrigine for suicidality in the TRD population, our case report introduces the novel possibility of an antisuicidal effect of lamotrigine at the individual level. We suggest clinicians consider its use when other, more robust treatments for suicidality have failed.

Abstract

While there remains insufficient evidence in the literature for a clinical recommendation of the use of lamotrigine for suicidality in the TRD population, our case report introduces the novel possibility of an antisuicidal effect of lamotrigine at the individual level. We suggest clinicians consider its use when other, more robust treatments for suicidality have failed.
