[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 50453, member: 1498"] I think the guy at crazymeds is a bit off in his comments. From the Lamictal prescribing information: "Maintenance treatment" is the term used to mean what we usually call "mood stabilizer" to differentiate it from those medications like the antipsychotics which treat the acute phases. There is no reason, officially or otherwise, that you can't start out on Lamictal. It may not help an acute phase but then we know Lamictal, like the other mood stabilizers, take a while to work. That's why doctors often prescribe the APs for acute manic phases and, even though they shouldn't, antidepressants for the acute depressive phases. [/QUOTE]
