[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 12320, member: 1412"] When my son first started taking Lamictal, he was also taking Seroquel, and we had problems whenever he didn't take the Seroquel as well. After he had been on both medications for about ten months, he discontinued the Seroquel, and at that point seemed fine on just the Lamictal. I've read that Lamictal doesn't work for acute episodes of mania, but does decrease cycling. Also, even though he did very well on Lamictal, there were times when he was difficult, such as when he didn't get enough sleep, etc. The adults on here can speak to that better than I can, but I've read that it's very important for those with bipolar to keep a regular schedule, and it seems to hold true for my son. I forgot to add there's a Bipolar Child newsletter that talks about Lamictal working TOO well at certain times of the year: [url="http://www.bipolarchild.com/newsletters/0506.html"]http://www.bipolarchild.com/newsletters/0506.html[/url] Look under the heading "Special Seasonal Considerations with Lamictal and All Mood Stabilizing Treatments," toward the bottom of the page.
