Hi,
I'm bipolar as well, not sure of the the specific diagnosis and not sure that it matters.... anywayz, i;ve tried lamictal as monotherapy and i experienced increased agitiation/anxiety as well... i believe this constitutes lamictal activating into the hypomanic side... lamictal gave me instant energy and insatnt agitiation and racing thoughts... then i retried lamictal with lithium and seroquel in the background and the same thing happened... this is common! go onto pubmed.com and check it out....
