> EricI tend to agree with Eric. Just in case, try using the titration guide suggested in the PDR (RxList) for people who are starting Lamictal while already taking Depakote. It starts at a lower dosage and works up more gradually. Because you are not taking Depakote, however, your final dosage will be the standard found to work for bipolar depression 200 - 300 mg/day. Trileptal + Lamictal makes a good combination for people who are bipolar 2 mixed-state. You might even profit from adding Wellbutrin.
As always,
Good luck.
