That seems unlikely to me.

I totally understand.
Lamictal is a "top-down" mood stabilizer. It starts out as more of an antidepressant and stabilizes mood from there. Depakote is more of a "bottom-up" drug. Lamictal is not the best anti-manic in the world. Depakote is much more effective for this purpose.
