Thanks for sharing, everyone. I was just really disappointed that even with being really moderate, I ended up feeling so yucky.

I had looked it up in advance so I knew it was not entirely unlikely. And I know it undoes what the meds are trying to do, which is why I was trying to be moderate. I felt pretty down all day yesterday, so hubby and I went hiking, which definitely helped.

I'm a light drinker unless I'm depressed or hypomanic, at which point all bets are off. It's a pretty good indicator of mood, and for awhile I was definitely self-medicating with alcohol (and other substances) so I've been cutting down. I guess once I get stabilized on the Lamictal I can see if I can have a drink once in awhile.
