Hi polarbear,

Thanks so much for the reply re: Lamictal. Mitch and Judy have made very helpful suggestions as well. I think you have defined my next step...back off the Dep. slowly and see if the Lamictal holds well on its own. I could very well be "over stabilized" and it is difficult to see this (on my part) because the Depakote could be amplifing the atypical depressive symptoms from the Bipolar II. Anyhow, this would seem like the most conservative next step. Lithium (as both you and Mitch have mentioned) also has value-in low dose. I have taken Lith. before but it was always some pdoc that wanted to push it to the max.

You folks have no idea how much I appreciate the suggestions. This present episode has been going on for 13 months - getting a little difficult to hang on.

Thanks

Geezer
