Hi, PolarBear. Yes, I took Lamictal 200mg for over a year with no benefits noted as mood stabilizer, while I was taking Cymbalta. I stopped the Lamictal in January after a particularly stressing hypomanic episode. It's not clear to me that the hypomania wasn't triggered by the Cymbalta. Moot point since the AD properties of Cymbalta abruptly stopped 2 months ago.
The wrangling over the use of Lamictal while it clearly wasn't working is one of several reasons why I recently changed pdocs. The other was that the old pdoc told me my next treatment option was ECT, which I thought was rather rash.
Thanks for your thoughts. At the moment I am doing a daily mood chart for my new doctor.
