Well it took me (and my pdoc) about 3 years to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. I simply cannot be on an anti-depressant without a mood stabilizer or I will just continuously cycle between hypomania and severe depression. My Pdoc has not officially diagnosed me as BPII but from what I know about it, all the signs are there. I'm back to trying the Lamictal again, I will slowly increase to about 200mgs. It's definately on the activating side as far as Mood stabilizers go but so far has been the one that I feel most like myself (whatever that is) on. Ideally, if I ever got really stable on the Lamictal, I would want to start tapering the Prozac because I know that in the long run it probably adds to my cycling problem. I'll keep you posted on the progress with Lamictal. Take care.
