[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 29886, member: 1550"] It takes eight weeks to kick in, but I wouldn't be surprised if the early results aren't good. That can happen early on. Lamictal, in my opinion, is a good, safe mood stabilizer and effective in many people. I'd try to stick it out until the dose is higher and he's been on it a longer period of time. I'm sorry he seems worse. Lamictal can sort of work as an antidepressant too and it could be kicking him into a "mixed" state (depression mixed with mania). From my own long experience with bipolar (feeling both happy and sad at the same time--it's very hard to describe)--a mixed state makes you want to bust out of your skin and punch a wall. Hopefully, the Lamictal will eventually level off his moods, poor thing. And poor you too. It's no fun, I know. [/QUOTE]
