These two drugs were prescibed to me as well. There were no problems with taking them together, however, they both caused severe sweating and I recently went off of them. Apparently I should've weened myself off of Suboxone and I didn't. I'm now experiencing "debilitating" episodes of sweating that are worse than those I had while on the drug. By the way, the lamotrigine you're on is not usually prescribed for depression. It's a mood stabilizer for people with bipolar disorder. Be careful if you want to ween yourself off of this drug. If you don't do it properly, you can have seizures, even if you've never had a seizure disorder before.
