I've been on Prozac off and on for about 10 years. However, I only recently (within 2 years) been re-diagnosed with bipolar II. Years ago I had no problem with Prozac and no instability or hypomania. That all changed with the birth of my second child. It has been a whole new ballgame now. I have been on different mood stabilizers and AD's. Yes, the Lamictal is stimulating for me and I can't go above 150mgs. or I am very agitated. It's just this "crash" that I experience every evening. Maybe the Prozac doesn't work well with the Lamictal. Perhaps, it's some sort of interaction??
> how long have you been on prozac? has your dose remained stable? a lot of people with bipolar disorder cannot take ADs (usually become more unstable). If you are certain it isn't the prozac, then I don't know- lamictal was very stimulating for me- maybe you can divide your dose tid instead of bid?
