Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the borderline depression requires the prescription of low dose anti-depressant as esitalopram and the same can be consumed with regular medications of epilepsy as Lamictal and Mysoline.
Still, it would be better to discuss the same with your treating psychiatrist before proceeding for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
