Mania is such a problem that the pdoc wants to stay away from AD's. He gets hives from nerves, so lamictal would be hard to do because of the rash. He's tried almost everything. The only ms he hasn't tried is topamax because of the cognitive dulling. The pdoc has halved the dose of the tegretol.KarenK
