I pretty much told them I was feeling manic and my doc agreed based upon description of symptoms. The teva lamictal seems to be handling the depression and social symptoms.
Before switching Lamictal brands I was taking WB also. It gave me some motivation but was ramping up irritability. When I increased the lamictal to control the irritability it knocked me out cognitively and energy wise for hours. Couldn't really eek out a proper thought.
Day two of teva lamictal/ 150 mgs lithium mood and social is good, but I am a little sedated. Keep forgetting things like phone keys, food at take out window.
Buspar actually works well for about a week and then I'm filled with seething anger. Worst I've had.
My theory is that this is all trauma based and that I start to feel better or my anxiety is stripped away, leaving whatever part of my personality that is angry/defensive.
