Dear Judy,

Listen to me very carefully.

I love you. You know that. I would never tell you to do anything that I didn't think was good for you.

Right now, I think it is good for you to just check on your mania, just to be sure. You seem to be getting a bit high right now. Let's you and I just make sure that everything is O.K.

I know it will be hard to trust your doctor, but I very much believe that he, too, would not do anything that he didn't think is good for you, but let's us you and I talk together first.

Judy, it is important for you to know the following information, even though it might not apply to you:

Lamictal acts very much like a true antidepressant, and as such is known to cause serious mania in a small percentage of people. By itself, Lamictal is NOT strong enough to treat severe mania. Last year, 200mg of Lamictal DID NOT not prevent ME from becoming seriously manic when I added Nardil. If you are experiencing some mania, you will need to add something else if we feel you should look into it. You will not have to stop taking Lamictal, so you don't have to worry about getting depressed again.

Please be receptive to trying Zyprexa for a few days, just so that we can both be sure that things stay under control. You may not really need it, but just in case.

Judy, I am going to give you my email address. WRITE TO ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN. Please. It's been awhile since we talked anyway.

Here is my email address:

sl.schofield@att.net

I'll give you my phone number in the mail.


Love,
Scott


> Hi all,
> I just wanted to share because I feel so INCREDIBLY PERFECT and I think it was the lamictal and I want everyone happy because I am. My shrink told me to watch out for the 5 S's of mania (remember that?) sex, speeding, spending, sleeping less than 3 hours, and more sex- I always seem to get hung up on that one. What do you think?- Judy
