> Ya, I think I read you probably need an AD with it, too, and if you suffer primarily from depression it's good, but I read that it's not a good idea for someone with clear hypomania/mania to just be on Lamictal.
Absolutely right. Lamictal does *not* treat mania. Not much does, come to think of it! :-/
My husband takes Lithium *with* Lamictal (and also 40 mg of Prozac), and the combo is good for him--keeps his liver in good shape and removes that dopey feeling that Lithium can sometimes give if you're on a higher dose.
