I tried to go up to 100mg of lamictal about a month ago, and it destabilized the bejesus out of me. I was good on the 50s, then once i started on the 100s I went from hypomanic to horribly depressed and just plain mean and irritable in the span of a week. I tried going up to the 100s twice with that same result.
Anyway, I had the pdoc put me on wellbutrin instead, cause I didn't want to risk being frigid. Let's hope it works.
> You might think about going up to 100mg of Lamictal. You would get more of an anti-depressant benefit which may allow you to lower your dose of Celexa to avoid side effects. I did this and was able to lower my Lexapro dose to 5mg (and thus eliminating the sexual side effects I had at 10mg) herpills

I had loss of libido on lexapro, and now I'm worried that I will have that again with celexa, and that is one side effect I CANNOT put up with. When all else in life is crappy, you can always take a trip to the bedroom, and I don't want to lose that. I've read that wellbutrin doesn't ahve any sexual side effects and is good for bipolar II. Any thoughts?
