Hi Speakez,
I would like you to know that I also am bipolar spectrum and lamictal caused strong anxiety for me as well... you are not atypical as this is not an uncommon occurence.. I've moved on to other mood stabilizers, such as depakote, with success...
bps> Hi, I have been diagnosed with spectrum bi-polar and was recently put on Lamictal. I am very med / ad sensitive and I just couldnt handle the anxiety that Lamictal produced for me. I know I am atipical but I guess I must live with that. Has anyone had any luck on other mood stabalizers that don't have an anti-depressant effect. I am currently on 3.5 mg of klonopin for anxiety spread out throughout the day, 300 mg of effexor for depression and 450mg of pregabalin to help with anxiety. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I have been thinking about depakote. thanks!
