I think that's a really good question. When I asked about that (because I felt lamictal caused a manic episode at 125mg last month) they claimed I was cycling and not stabilized on the lamictal yet. I tend to agree with you that it is really energizing and I bet I see some depakote soon. Risperdal is also very energizing for me, some pdocs even think it causes mania, but I take it for auditory hallucinations and it works well. What else are you on? I think I remember you have bp2 and rapid cycling? Are your problems mostly depression? If so, you must welcome the hypomania- is it damaging? Which is probably a really dumb question to ask, since I don't even recognize when I'm hypomanic, this board tells me and I go really? I never listen to my pdoc- zero insight. Take care, judy
