If you are having some lingering depression and want to try an AD again, keep the dosage low to prevent anxiety and agitation. Lamictal is also a great drug, I take 200mg. Depending on how far to the right you are in the bipolar spectrum, some people need to take another mood stabilizer with the lamictal if it is too activating. It is used for bipolar II and those with soft bipolar as myself. Lithium and Lamictal have a good track record used in combo with or without a antidepressant.

Totally agree Polarbear.

What are your side effects from Lamictal?
Was it difficult to titer up?
Does it impair your sleep or memory?
