Hi.

More interesting than doing what I need to do! ;)

First things first. Get a professional opinion on your mouth a.s.a.p. If it's thought to be the Lamictal, you and your doctor will decide on whether you should stop Lamictal completely, reduce it and retitrate more slowly, etc. How quickly did you titrate up on it anyway?
Other mood stabilizers...? Do you need anti-manic protection, or are you mostly depressed? In the anticonvulsant department, have you tried topomax? Zonegran? Trileptal? Keppra? I have a friend who's BPI who is doing well on just Seroquel after trying tons of other things. She tends to go manic extremely easily. Good luck.
