I just started li going in to 2 weeks to augment the lamictal, prozac and remeron I am also taking. It is my hope that I will be able to just be on lamictal and lithium. What do you think?

You've got quite a cocktail of meds there Flip, I'm not sure how you tell the individual effects of each when they are mixed together. Lithium effectively ended my psychotic manic and depressed episodes. Li works miracles with many classic bipolars but not all. I'm lucky to not have many side-effects except some diarrhea that I can live with. I am looking for a little help with persistant mild depression (as opposed to disabling clinical depression). I'm scheduled to try Lamictal in about a month (my next dr appt). I'll report on how it worked (or didn't).
