> > Has anyone here been thrown into Hypomania by Lamictal? My pdoc wont believe me because Lamictal is a "mood stabilizer" and thus could not cause this.
>Yes, when I tried lamictal alone it definitely induced anxiety/hypomania (and at each dose increase). Depakote alone helped mania but not depression. I take both together. As others have said - it is a good mood stabilizer with anti-depressant effects (one of the few) but may need an additional mood stabilizer with it.
I know I read this somewhere. I'll see if I can find it again (for your pdoc).
