If there is one thing that Lamictal is not, it is an acute anti-manic agent. It did not prevent me from having a manic reaction to changes made in my medication. However, I have read things that indicate it helps reduce rapid-cycling. When combined with lithium, it seems to. Lamictal definitely acts as a prophylactic against future depressive episodes according to the most recent studies I have read.
