[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 48525, member: 1498"] Now wait....the psychiatrist is keeping the Lexapro (antidepressant) and wanting to add Strattera (antidepressant) but rejects Lamictal because it's the only mood stabilizer that addresses depression? And s/he's just ignoring that antidepressants can cause mania? Something's not right there. While I'm reasonably sure the psychiatrist is trying to pass Zyprexa off as a mood stabilizer, there is an anticonvulsant called Zonegran which has been prescribed off label as a mood stabilizer. It causes cognitive dulling on par with Topamax and it isn't a recognized mood stabilizer. [/QUOTE]
