[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 50420, member: 2423"] The way I read the crazymeds info is that another mood stabilizer (like Depakote, Lithium or Tegretol) needs to stop the mania first and then Lamictal is introduced to address residual depression. Lamictal is also used to augment antidepressants in the case of refractory depression. I'm wondering if K's mania is not being touched by the Lamictal. Or the dose is just not high enough to make a difference. by the way, K's been on Abilify long enough to know if that dose is helping (or causing side effects). You may want to ask about raising it. T, I sure hope you get in to see a psychiatrist soonest. [/QUOTE]
