I'm taking subtherapeutic dose of lithium and 3000 mg neurontin. It's helped stabilize the frantic frazzled state that my otherwise delightful hypomania skids into. Rainbow, I've been considering Lamictal for a long time now and would welcome a detailed account of your experiences with it. I'm especially interested because of it's antidepressant effect. Has it been energizing, anxious? Did you get the rash? I also tried Topomax for a while to counter the weight gain from Remeron and lithium but it made me feel irritated and antsy.
> I take Lamictal as a mood stabilizer. By far it has been the best one for me and keeps me on an even keel. Lithium caused alot of mood flattening for me.
