Lamictal never helped me stabilize my mood from the highs or deep lows (the scary suicidal lows). Depakote is the only thing that has worked for me, Lithium didn't do much at all.
Lamictal helped me with bipolar depression only, and was one of the only adjuncts that really fit the spot, although I have never tried MAOI. Depakote is a life-saver.
Sac I know for a fact that too much Lamictal combined with an AD can have adverse effects. It has such definite AD properties that it would cause me to be more depressed if I took too much of it. (which is what happens with SSRIs for me)
Someone else wrote that they feel worse at night... I was writing that on here a while back, and the Lamictal was always the cause for me. It wears off in 5-6 hours for me, without fail.
Any BPII on Nardil/Parnate have better response than with TCA or SSRI/NRI? I tried both of the latter and TCAs did not work out- too strong or something, just didn't click. Anyway I think I need something else, or I need therapy.
