[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 50365, member: 2423"] This is an interesting tidbit from [url="http://www.crazymeds.org:"]http://www.crazymeds.org:[/url] "Lamictal is also approved to treat Bipolar 1 Disorder, but only if you are already stable on approved medications. That's right, officially you can't start out with Lamictal as your initial treatment for Bipolar disorder. You can add it on to something or convert to it from something else." I don't know if the above is true, but maybe that's why your old psychiatrist didn't want K on Lamictal? I know that when my kids were rxed Lamictal, they were already on Depakote. We decreased the Depakote and then added in Lamictal. difficult child 1 is still on a lower dose of Depakote, but we finally weaned easy child/difficult child 2 from Depakote completely once she reached her therapeutic dose of Lamictal. Something to ask a psychiatrist about. [/QUOTE]
