Hi again Kristen,

Okayyyyyy, i understand now!!! There is a bug with your pdoc. He is either ignorant (probably) or a bad one. Simply incredible and pathetic :-( Lamictal is an agent used in the treatment of the bipolar "depression" only, particularly in the rapid cycles of the bipolar "depression". Did i mention mania or hypomania??? He can not by itself keep at bay a manic/hypomanic episode. It is a well know fact and very well documented. Thus the need for another mood stabilizer (Lithium and/or Depakote) which will prevent mania/hypomania.

Take a look at Maintenance and Treatment of Bipolar Disorders, here:

I suggest you take a look at the "slide show" only. It is extremely well done.

Good luck!


Max.
