I would recommend looking into augmenting your medication with a stabilizer. Lamictal is good because it can also treat unipolar depression (regular depression, not bipolar). Plus it has a benign side effect profile for many.Yeah. I should point out that I'm also Bipolar II (often comorbid w/ s. phobia) and Lamictal is my primary mood stabilizer. The Lamictal doesn't actually help the s. phobia tho'.
