Lamictal is probably one of the best medications I've ever taken for bipolar II disorder,
and it is used for that form of bipolar illness. I was able to take only 15 mg at best,
however, and that was enough to push hypomania, so I had to give it up. I did like
it very much and hope you will be able to tolerate it, too.

Because it was difficult for me, as it is for some, I was switched to 20 mg. Prozac
and 15 mg Deplin (a food medication; it is a concentrated form of Vitamin B9).

70% of depressed patients are missing enzymes in the stomach that metabolize
folic acid into a form the brain can use and needs for good functioning. I would
recommend you mention it to your psychiatrist if you ever feel that your current
prescribed meds need a little help.

Often, it may take as many as three changes in medications to get the right "cocktail"
to suit your system, so don't be alarmed if all that you have been prescribed needs
attention from time to time.

I would, add, also, that you plan to take the Omega 3 fatty acids since research
now has shown the essential fatty acids to be beneficial to brain health and
functioning.

Take good care of yourself and nice to see you posting on PC Forum.
