Lamotrigine (Lamictal) Meds for Borderlines?

Hello, I've mentioned in other posts that I have severe depression and anxiety, but forgot in my benzodiazepine addled brain that I have also been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder three times in my life by three different doctors. Anyway, I certainly fit the profile of a borderline and find it difficult to stay in therapy (I REALLY like the therapist, then they say something that hurts my feelings -something absolutley harmless-and I don't like them or trust them anymore so that's that.) But I need help anyway, I've just this minute discovered a drug on the internet Lamotrigine (Lamictal) has anyone used it? Will an antidepressant do enough or should I have a mood stabilizer too? The more I read, the more I think I should. I go through moods like socks. (Actually I'm too depressed to wear socks) Anyway, if anyone has any information about treatment for this condition or experiences they would like to share, I would be very grateful. I'm phoning mental health again tomorrow and if I can get in to see a shrink-I'd like to try to start out with as good a try at the right medication as possible. I've read up on the SSRIs and stuff but know very little about other types of drugs. Thanks.
