It took a psychotic mixed episode and a month in the (worst) hospital this past summer to realize that lithium alone was not enough for me.

I take many different things, but my mood "true mood stabilizers" are lamictal 200mg. and topamax ER 200mg. and I can definitely target different symptoms and others synergictically and I believe the two at the same has allowed me to keep both doses at the lowest effective dose for each.
