I have Bipolar II, and also OCD and GAD.
I'm on 50mg of Lamictal for the BP, and I went to my pdoc today, and he's keeping the Lamictal where it's at and adding 20mg of Lexapro (10mg for the first week then up to 20mg).
I've had bad reactions to SSRIs in the past (and yes, my pdoc knows that, and what they were etc)...of course, I wasn't on a mood stabilizer then...but it seems that with such a low dose of a mood stabilizer, and a higher dose of an SSRI it would be a bad combination for me.
Does this combo sound right to you?
