Hi Jesse,
Since I was unable to take any AD's (including wellbutrin) because of rapid cycling (and manic switches) my pdoc put me on lamictal in addition to depakote and I think risperdal at the time. He raised me 25mgs every 4 days until about 200 mgs I actually became hypomanic. So I guess it really is a good AD, and according to my pdoc that was the only the second time he saw an "overshoot" on it. Can't help ypu with the OCD stuff, but hope the lamictal info helps. Also, compared to the other meds I have taken, it had a very benign side effect profile. Take care.
