Geezer,

I have been on Lamictal now for 5 months. This is a miricle drug for my bipolar 2. I have been able to wein down to very low doses of my ad's. I tried Lithium and Depakote in the past with no relief. My atypical depression was exacerbated with higher doses of the ssri's. The Maoi's in combo with Lamictal has a good success rate too. Is you bp depression dominated?? You may be on too many at the same time. The Lamictal has great antidepressant effects. I would continue to back off the Depakote and give the Lamictal a chance to work as your primary mood stabilizer. Could be polypharmacy working against you.
