High doses of antidepressants can exacerbate mood cycling with bipoolar disorders. Since Lamictal has antidepressant properties in addition to mood stabilizing, he may be on too much of the others. 4 meds may be too much?

His doses of Celexa and lithium are in the typical range for therapeutic doses, and the Geodon is a low dose for an antipsychotic effect.

There's no doubt in my mind that he's been taking too many meds. And there are doubts about the BPD diagnosis (see my previous post)... Thus, my main concern right now is not over the fact that he quit Lamictal, but *how* he quit it.
