ADs tend to be extremely unpredictable with us bipolars.
Are you on anything else? Lamictal is (was) helping with my bipolar.

I used to be on Lamictal about 5 years ago but I stopped therapy and meds I'm only now again getting therapy and meds again and my pdoc said I don't need Lamictal this time...confusing!
