[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 327974, member: 3444"] That's GREAT news!!! Lamictal worked very well for my husband's depression and mood swings even though it was rx'd for seizures in his case. I loved, Loved LOVED that medication! But it can also cause a rash, as well as a potentially life-threatening rash (Stevens-Johnson), so keep an eye out for that. husband got a mild, localized but bilateral rash from this medication twice, so his neuro pulled him off it. But he's doing fine on Trileptal now. And husband takes Paxil which has not caused any mania at all for him, and it also helps with his depression/anxiety/obsessiveness. I know exactly what you mean about hearing our BiPolar (BP) loved ones complain about missing their "highs". We've heard the same thing here initially. But after more than two years on medications now, husband is aware of how much BETTER his life is because he no longer goes into those dark, out-of-control rageful places. SO great that difficult child feels better, too!!! I hope he's able to tolerate the Prozac. You'll have to let me know if you find a good therapist. We have had so-so luck in finding ours, and I'd gladly drive to your area for a good one. This will truly be a blessed Christmas for your family! I'm so glad your husband cares enough about you and his family to address his problems head-on. Big hugs! [/QUOTE]
