In reply to off lithium, increased wellbutrin started lamictal, posted by terrics on September 19, 2004, at 11:40:54
Hi terrics:
As we know, Lithium has both effectiveness, for depression and mania. But, you did off of the Lithium and started the Lamictal along with WB(I don't know of its dosage).In my guess, .... probably, you need to wait to see Lamical starts to kick in. I never been on the Lamical, then I have no clue on this regard, except a good A.D. efficacy from taking the Lamictal.
This is also, ... in my hunch/guess, probably, a lack of the Lithium in your system started to surface, which I had when decreased from 900 mg. to just barely 300 mg. Then, I needed to get it back on the 'regular dosage.' It's pretty bad, ... but again, you may need to wait for the Lamictal at least few more days to see if the Lamictal is for you. Because, everyone has different reactions to different meds.
