Hi! I did take Lamictal alone for a while, but it didn't stabilize me enough so they added an AP (Zyprexa). That combination was highly effective for me, but the side-effects from Zyprexa were bad. I'm hoping Lamictal will have clearer effects this time (titrating up now). I'm not going higher than half the previous dose of Zyprexa this time, because the side-effects are just too bad.
