For bipolar patients out there- I met with the STEP-BD group at UCSD and they felt I wasn't on enough lamictal when I got manic (I was only on 125mg I think). They have had tremendous success with rapid cyclers in the 200-400mg/day range and expect it to be approved for treatment of bipolar very soon. So I am back on it. Basically they said if you don't develop a rash immediately (an allergic rx) then the chances are slim that a dangerous rash will develop- they sometimes see minor ones when there is a large dose increase. Anyway they are not messing with my klonopin, risperdal and xanax- just increasing lamictal right now. Take care all- judy
